Sugar Ray Leonard vs Mayweather

[Mishra100]

Lets poll this up!

Sugar Ray Leonard fought some of the best welterweights ever known and impressive many. Lots of people grew up with Leonard and respect his skills a lot. Leonard brought speed, accuracy, heart, courage, toughness, technique, power, balance, stamina, ambition, and focus.

Mayweather is the best of his era and is still proving how he fights on his own level. Mayweather brings so many skills to the table. His highlights are speed, accuracy, courage, toughness, technique, balance, stamina, focus, evasion, and defense.



To me the only differences between the fighter was Leonard had the power, Mayweather has the defense. Defense always wins that battle 90% of the time so my pick is Mayweather is the most exciting 12 rounds of boxing ever witnessed.

Leonard would outpoint him, he wouldn't make the obvious mistakes by being intimidated by Floyds speed, nor would he hesitate to throw punches because of Floyds reactions, it'd be a relatively decent fight to watch, but not many power shots will land, most of the fight will be based around Leonards jab and Mayweathers failed attempt of getting close enough to land anything meaningful.

Leonard had faster hands and feet, but by speed I meant how slippery Floyd actually is.

[BrooklynBomber]

I accidentally chose Floyd instead of Leonard, so count my vote to Leonard
