Sugar Ray Leonard vs Mayweather

[TonyJ]

I would pick hearns any day, reach and boxing skills would be the reason

but

1. srl beat him by accumulation of punches, not bcos of his power

2. the only reason judah saw the end of the fight is because of what happened in round 10, if you think otherwise dont bother answering, just go watch the fight again.

I think Hearns was overtrained against SRL. But i also think that Ray's power is very underrated. Leonard was able to hurt Hearns. I doubt Mayweather could do the same.

Leonard beats Mayweather and Hearns beats Mayweather too!

[The Noose]

Leonard proved he could do so much.
He showed he find a way to beat opponents.
He fought with Duran, was very smart against Benitez and Hagler, and showed amazing heart by coming back and KOing Hearns.
Leonard could box and move as well as Maywheather, but really fight like Mayweather only dream.

The Leonard that fought Benitez and Duran beats Mayweather.

[The Troll]

I'm not so sure Leonard was as green as he was infuriated by Duran's degrading remarks toward his family, he's said before that he fought the wrong fight because Duran basically got inside his head.

None of that has anything to do with Leonard's strategy against Duran. Angelo Dundee and Team Leonard openly said they didn't want Leonard backing up or dancing against Duran in the first fight as you'll see here.

I would pick Leonard by KO.

Leonard power is underrated

but it was lack of stamina and the consequent accumulation of punches that costed Hearns the fight

floyd mayweather jr wins against ray leonard. floyd is smarter than leonard in the defense department and his overall strategy would be better than ray's imo. the way floyd would train for the fight would be another factor in his win and during the match floyd will have a better gameplan in my book. floyd wins by ud or late round tko.

How the hell would Floyd TKO Leonard?
Leonard fought Duran, Hearns and Hagler.

As far as Floyds defence being a factor. I think it would be a real chess match. But again, Leonard outboxed an amazing boxing in Benitez. Plus Leonard punches harder, can dig in and brawl, plus his chin is great. He fought at supermiddleweight.

IF Mayweather outpoints him early, Leonard would start fighting with Floyd, and he is quick enough to catch him and hurt him. Floyd has never been in a fight like that.

[The Scientist]

A fantasy fight between them would mean Leonard would be in his prime, so I say a prime Sugar Ray Leonard would prove too overwhelming for Floyd Mayweather. Ray's speed, tenacity, and subtle style switches from technician to offensive specialist, would lead to a UD for Ray with a few knockdowns. Floyd's own technique and his honed defense would keep him in there with SRL, but ultimately Ray Leonard would come out on top because of his grizzled experience in the ring with some of the world's toughest fighters, Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Benitez etc...
