Mayweather vs Sugar Ray Leonard - who wins?

[BangEM]

I’m leaning towards Floyd but SRL was a juggernaut.

Floyd could not last 15 rounds with Leonard...too small and never had enough power to keep Leonard off him.
Leonard stops him around the 10th round

Leonard. Bigger, just as fast, great skills and combination punching. Welterweight Mayweather probably doesn't have the activity to get the decision against prime Leonard. Of course, it's not a given. Mayweather is much better than other fighters who gave Leonard trouble.

Floyd with IV and his selected referee, ring, gloves and judges then I'm100% sure that it would be a gift win for floyd.

Close tough fight. There were spurt moments where Floyd Sr got off some nice counter punch shots against Leonard. Jr is 100x the boxer his father was and I think he would’ve given Leonard hell. Leonard was a textbook boxer and it’s not easy to hit and setting up Floyd with the same variation of punches over the course of a 12 rounds fight. It would’ve probably look like Mayweather vs De la Hoya with Leonard being active and Floyd landing all the eye-catching shots.

Leonard fought the better opponents, was bigger, faster, hit harder and threw sizzling combinations. Plus, Floyd has never seen the 13th, 14th, and 15th rounds. Clear advantages for Leonard. Leonard by UD.

Operative words "12 rounds". Leonard went 15, unlike any active fighter on the entire planet today. And Oscar does not have remotely the same speed as Leonard, nor the power. And the competition of either Oscar or Floyd didn't compare to Leonard. Leonard by UD. Not a single welterweight since Leonard would have been able to have wins over the big 4 in Benitez, Hearns, Duran, and Hagler. Hearns knocks out anything at 147 since.

Two of my all time favorite fighters, and this would be a fabulous matchup at welter.
For people claiming Floyd couldn't last in a 15 rounds, when have you EVER seen Floyd tired at the end of 12?

I actually think style wise this matchup favors Floyd, and I think chin wise, Floyd can take the better punch

Its hard to bet against Floyd to be honest

[Citizen Koba]

I got Leonard by TKO in 10....




Oh wait... Which Floyd were we talking about here?
