    Sugar Ray was more talented and dynamic.

    I'd say Floyd was a harder worker and lived a more disciplined life though. That's why his career lasted much longer.

      Better in the pocket is debatable, Leonard was a beast on the inside and fought a close 15 round fight with Duran who is arguably the greatest inside fighter.

        Mayweather was very talented but SRL proved his talent against much better fighters.

        Past prime Pac and pre-prime Canelo are good wins but are they better than Leonards wins over Duran, Hearns and Hagler?

          - -Ray won gold and the star.

          TUE 50-0 won bronze and the bore.
