voters should also justify their answers...

 

[spit_fiya]

Money....defense defense defense

 

[damnkp]

What weight

 

[silverfoxx]

Uh uh uh.

Ray Leonard. He's as fast as Floyd, but hits harder, he's longer, better beard, and he combination punching would look good when Floyd shells up on the ropes. Plus Leonard has a good jab, that would give Floyd fits. A sharp Leonard KOs Floyd within in 7, in my humble opinion.

 

[KNiGHTS]

Which version are we talking? Pre-Gatti to Gatti Era Floyd is throwing bombs AND defensively shitting on people, so that version versus Olympic to Early 80s Ray is going to the wire. I think Floyd takes it. No disrespect to Sugar, but he showed vulnerabilities to bullshit that Floyd did not.

It's the only intangible because speed, power, and footwork is a virtual wash. Ray got talked into banging with Duran the first time. Floyd has yet to be talked into shit that I've seen, and even when Zab knocked the shit out of his balls and did all that dramatic shit, Floyd calmly composed and got back to the money making of beating that ass.

Ray's aggression would undo him versus Floyd. He'd clown and Floyd would stand there until Ray forced it. Then he'd be picked apart.

Floyd never fought anyone close to being as good as Duran, and the power is not a wash. Ray Leonard had pop in his punches. There is no chance Floyd could hurt Leonard, and pre Gatti Floyd would be too small for Ray. Leonard was a natural Welterweight.

Floyd would of figured Sugar and frustrated him with his D!!! I think Sweet Pea in his prime may have got Sugar too. But there would be no Money May or Pernell without the Great Sugar Ray Robinson.

 

[moneycrooksent.]

Sugar Ray Leonard excuse me.

I see it's a lot of cats that don't know much about Ray Leonard.

I'm gon nosign the bolded. I think Sweet Pea would do better against Leonard than Floyd would, but I don't believe either beats him.

You don't know much about Floyd

If Demarcus Corley can hurt Floyd, trust and believe that Ray Leonard would. Zab hurt Floyd early, washed Mosley hurt him early, Ray Leonard would finish the job. And I said a sharp Leonard, bold the whole thing next time.

The undefeated guy who made all of his peers look like amateurs.

Damn shame how much value y'all place in that undefeated record. Quality competition doesn't mean much to y'all.

Were any of them great? If so, were any in there prime?

Do any of those compare to a Duran, Hagler or Hearns?

Damn shame how much value y'all place in that undefeated record. Quality competition doesn't mean much too y'all.

Exactly.
