Choose One: Money Mayweather vs Sugar Ray Leonard

The reason I bought promotion in to play is because rays opponents were not classes above anyone floyd fought, but they were built up to have you believe that... Castillo, Oscar, hatton, corrales, Shane, cotto, Marquez, all those dudes are on their level...

Only thing Ray has definitively on floyd is size and strength... But in comparison, I've seen ready Ray take shots and not bounce back.

I've seen Floyd get hit hard and compose himself almost immediately. I've seen him beat dangerous fighters one handed.

I've seen him counter undefeated champions and make it look easy.

I'm a big Leonard fan, I'm from Maryland, he's the home fighter I've rooted for him my whole life.. But Floyd is just better

If you think Floyd wins, I respect that, because I respect Floyd Mayweather, but none of those guys are on the same level as Duran, Hagler, and Hearns, or Benitez.

Hatton, Castillo, Cotto, Chico, Marquez all get washed by Duran at 135-140-147. I'm not gonna even put them in the ring with Hearns or Leonard. Benitez against those guys would be a little bit closer but I think he beats those guys.

Duran and Mosley at 135, oh boy that would be a good one, it's a pick em. At 147 I'd favor Duran. Oscar would give Duran problems because of his length and jab(if he decides to use it smh).

Hearns is a bad man. Matchup nightmare for Floyd, I don't see how Floyd wins that fight or even gets to the final bell. He doesn't hit hard enough to hurt Hearns, and that jab is gonna swell up Floyd's left eye.

You don't have to agree with me, but Floyd is not unbeatable against the greats.

Ray fought the better fighters there is no argument there. Floyd cant help that. With that said there are arguments where both guys win. All we can go by is hypotheticals. Oscar almost stole/robbed a win vs Floyd by doing the sugar ray flurries on the ropes. I could see that happening. I also can see Floyd slowing the fight down and pot shotting ray. For a win. I can see ray hurting Floyd with a right hand off his jab. Floyd is a better all around fighter. Ray was just bigger with the same handspeed and power.

Hearns beats Floyd too big. Duran beats Oscar ... he and Mosley is a toss up at 135. Pryor beats Duran. Benitez beats all those modern guys folk forget how good he was.
