    More Skilled Floyd Jr or Ray Leonard

    Greatest fighter Floyd defeated was manny

    Greatest fighter Ray Leonard defeated was Duran

    Ray Leonard needed two tries because Duran is better than manny. Floyd got manny by a wide margin

    Anyways between Floyd and Ray Leonard who more skilled

    Both of them are ATG's but I guess Leonard because he beat better opponents.

      yeah Floyd didn’t have the privilege of facing someone in his league

      When I watch Leonard-Hearns for example I see two fighters on a similar level

          Floyd. Dude is just way too hard to hit. If Manny couldn't do it, no one can.

            Gtfoh. The best guy Floyd beat at his best was prime undefeated Ricky Hatton, and Floyd beat Manny by a wide margin my a@@, he barely outpointed a past prime Manny in a lackluster affair which he mostly did more holding than anything else.

            This Floyd beat Manny exaggeration just keeps getting worse and worse and yeah, we know saying he beat Manny sounds a lot more prestigious than beating Ricky Hatton, but the truth of the matter is, beating a past prime Manny doesn't come close to beating a prime undefeated Hatton and to a lesser degree an undefeated Canelo Alvarez.

            Sugar Ray didn't need two tries to beat Duran because Duran was better than Manny, it's because it was two guys in their prime equally as good that needed two fights to settle who was the best. That's what the game is all about.

            Maybe Floyd skillwise is a little better technically than Ray, but when it comes to who put their skills to the test and came out on top against prime opposition, Ray runs circles around Floyd. Furthermore, its no coincidence that most top ten ww lists Ray comes out on top of Floyd (top two or three consistently), while Floyd barely cracks top ten. Floyd just did not want to take the necessary risks with the skills he had.

              WW May is May at his most vulnerable. This is why people keep matching him with ATG natural WW.

              No one under WW beats May.
              Every ATG WW would have to work harder than they ever have to eek out a decision.

                  A hugging lesson is more like it but you keep living in Floyd Boy land.

                  You forget the topic of your own thread? You were comparing Floyd's skills to SRL's. When you got hit with the truth, it was back to the junior varsity league, overexaggerting Floyd's hug-a-thon with Manny.
