@@firefx99 I easily played with Duran the second fight.

@@kpj2224 people forget how close the first Duran fight was

rw19901 I feel you Bro. That erks me to.

You know they work on time right?🤦🏽‍♂️

Nothing bothers me more. Unless the guest is rambling bad

They dont understand they are not the show. I agree just be quiet

I'm not so sure, Hearns had trouble finding Leonard at times and nobody is going to argue that Floyd is a better defensive boxer then Leonard.

***** I've seen both fights.. Leonard changed his game plan then what happened? Im not saying Floyd would definitely beat either of them but I do think both fights would be competitive at the least. Hagler is too big for Floyd so he wouldn't even fight him lol.. But personally I think Floyd would've beaten Duran.

***** I think Floyd is the best defensive boxer of all time. Leonard, Hearns and Duran all had better offensive styles but it would be interesting to see how they would've dealt with Floyd's craftyness. The reason I say I think Floyd would've beaten Duran is that Duran's style was the basic Mexican formula which Floyd has ALWAYS looked impressive against even since the amateurs. Leonard frustrated him into quitting by using is legs and pot shotting and if there's one thing Floyd is good at its exactly that... However both Leonard and Hearns were bigger and better pure boxers then Duran, both would be a much harder fight for him.

+Elpapa Delarubia Floyd jr beats duran 7-5, in a competitive, but boring fight. Now jcc sr would've been a tougher fight for floyd jr than duran. He along w/hearns are style nightmares for floyd jr essentially. Hearns would've been a nightmare matchup for floyd. Too tall w/too much speed and overall activity. He'd put floyd to sleep or tko him by the 10th or 11th. floyd jr vs srl is kind of a toss up. Leonard was naturally bigger, but not really the better boxer. I peg srl to win on points 6/10 times by a 7-5 margin most likely. If floyd was to beat srl the other 4 times, it would be by a larger margin. More like 8-4 or even 9-3 floyd. The dudes skill level was much better than srl. No ko or tko. Floyd easily beats benitez 9-3 in decent fight.

you right bro. his defensive arsenial is crazy. he got so many different things to his defense that's why broner try to immatate and he has a hard time cause it seem like he don't understand per say the different things floyd does

Best middle weight

Guitar Dave we ？ you never had him lol

one of the best in the world ever

@ Guitar maybe the best!!!

@@firefx99 one of of . but sugar ray is best in welter weight

SRL gives him that work.

Pretty boy lays him out flat in my opinion

@@Tre3x777 prime floyd was unbeatable can't say the same for sugar ray to be honest even money may would beat him but it would be closer

Lawrence Mashonga sugar ray would beat every fighter Floyd fought. Floyd would wait til sugar Ray is 40 just to finally box him

@aaaaa275 why floyds undefeated if he lost to castillo😂😂😂

pac has a better career then floyd

Fighting men coming off losses for *NAME RECOGNITION* is not the same as fighting those same men when they are *winning, confident and are world champions.* That's what Pacquiao did. Padding one's record with 40 straight fights against men no one but locals have ever heard of is NOT the way of a legend. Using catchweights to gain unfair advantages in all of one's most significant fights is not worthy of a world champion. Especially when that fighter had been making the welterweight size on fight night since 4 divisions prior. Pacquiao has fought less world champions than Floyd, has captured less world championships than Floyd, and has been beaten exponentially more times than Floyd against D,C & B-level fighters. Floyd has a made everyone he's faced look amateurish. His skills are so superior to his opponents that people call him "boring" because there is such a lack of drama and anticipation because he is always in control and imposing his will. Even Pacquiao fans admit that Pacquiao has been in wars .. which only goes to show that the man is limited and must exchange and be reckless in order to win. Some may argue that his style is more exciting, but excitement has never been the measure of greatness or even the measure of what is more preferable. If it were, then Mayweather wouldn't have more people willing to pay more money consistently to watch his fights over Pacquiao's. If I disliked a man and found him boring, I wouldn't pay $70 to watch him when I could watch Pacquiao for $40 .. even if I wanted to see him lose. No one wants to see anyone lose _THAT_ badly. Pacquiao has never unified a division. Pacquiao has only had 4 championships in his 8 divisions. The others were vacant/interim titles. Pacquiao has been knocked out seveeral times. Pacquiao has been outpointed. And for the last half decade before fighting Mayweather, Pacquiao was content to have smaller men come up from lightweight and super lightweight as his sole source of competition. Pacquiao _was_ great in his first 4 divisions, but after that, it became about what he could get away with trying to pass for legitimate to build his brand. At a certain point, it became about Pacquiao fighting his stablemates, who had a common promoter, which made it easier for Team Pacquiao to get them to accept weight manipulation clauses and target them coming off losses. True story.

Arch Angel that's nonsense

Barry Wilson please, jr. wouldn't have survived Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, or Durant, he can only run so much and wouldn't have the judges on favor.

Bro stop. Pacquiao has a better resume and career. Floyd fought like a bitch. How you can say a prime Manny fucking pacquiao has no chance against Floyd is beyond me. Castillo and Judah game him trouble, but prime pacquiao couldn't? He would have washed Castillo and Jorah

😂😂🤣

Not true. Definitely ducked Aaron Pryor and he aged Hagler out for 5 years and he still really lost.

This is one thing you learn from Sugar Ray... Is fear helps you win. You always have to be prepared that your opponent could damage you. Sugar Ray didn't have this in his second fight with Hearns which is why he lost. I don't think Mayweather Jr could beat Leonard if Leonard is fully aware that he could lose. Leonard is also one of the craftiest fighters, and there is no fighter like Leonard.

Duran,sugar ray,hearns hagler those guys were animals,12 rnds to long to much drama with smart quick as you ,twice as big,very smart ,mean as a junkyard dog natural welter and middlewieghts --you honestly think floyd could stay in the ribg with hagler??? These others did.

Clemon Logan Sugar Ray would be the one to give Floyd real competition because of his boxing prowess. He has just as quick hands and quick hands. Floyd would out box Hagler and Hearns. He would just stay away. Pac is one of the best offensive fighters of all time and look what Floyds boxing skills did to him. Look at how it negating his offense. Its more than just punching, its the range, the motion, footwork.

Floyd did a very clever job against manny,even better he has fooled hardcore boxing fans into thinking his d. is on a level with pernel whitaker he aint even 80percent of sweet pea's defensive show but he as least as smart -- mayweather was too strong for a smaller manny he just plain drown out his punches ala- moselyvs margarito. --Duran - leonard1-- holyfield--tyson. every excellent natural fighter who because anothers speed and combo punching finds himself Machine gunned bieng able to will naturally tie- up to come underneath and out of the barrage of danger then what if you find you are way stronger than your opp ala holyfield- tyson. Even chavez- camancho hector did alot better because of his strength hearns lost to a couple including leonard because he did not know how to tie up

+Clemon Logan yh but those cats where BIGGER than floyd. Ray and hearns STARTED at 147 and duran would BLOW UP in weight.

+Clemon Logan Whitakcer got DROPPED by roger man FOH about his D was better. PERNELL is the one who got you FOOLED.

+Gregory Carter Very true

+Gregory Carter Ray Leonard consulted undefeated fighters while he was a color commentator in the late 80s. He would advise them away from fights he would (weeks later) announce that he was coming out of retirement to take. Classy.

yes

Sugar is a hater.

Floyd chose his opponents wisely or should I say washed Ray fought Duran and Hearns at their best.

Legends.

@@GrubKiller436 Forever.

No he wouldn't Floyd would scold him

Nah... i dont think so. Floyd was more talented than even Sugar Ray Leonard.

​@@raaxdrizzio9975hahahaha that's a good joke

​@@b3at2talented????what a clown 😊

@@curryis828 it’s real

FervenC no way Floyd would go toe to toe with sugar like how Floyd’s dad did mayweather would really need to outbox I mean run,dodge,hit.. the same thing that happened to the daddy would happen to jr.

@@abolisher Floyd is not his dad...He can fight in a telephone booth and barely get hit. He's level's beyond his dad. Anyone to be honest. But Sugar was no joke so it's nuttn but a dream fight lol

FervenC the only way I could see mayweather outbox sugar is if he did what he did to Pacquiao but sugar is a different fighter he always went for the knockout and was aggressive 🔥🔥 I got sugar tko round 10 or 11 a prime sugar vs a prime Floyd i got sugar

@@abolisher Mann It's hard 4 me...It's like asking me to pick between Ali vs Mike Tyson when he has Cus D' Amato as his trainer

Would be probably similar to the SRL vs. W. Benitez fight...FM is very elusive and can slip a lot of punches. But, eventually....SRL’s hand speed and power would catch him! Late round TKO most likely.

He only won 2 of those fights though He admitted he lost to Hearns the 2nd fight and everyone knows he lost to Hagler twice

@@tawandataylor2818 I understand you believing he lost to Hagler. I don't. But since they only fought once, how did Marvin beat him twice?

Jermaine Norwood blah blah blah...not true.

Dude please he beats your so called pryor he is to big for pryor and pryor could not hurt ray he would run from leonard and then get tko withen 9 rounds book it !!!

I'm a old head and know the last statement to be true. Running around saying he's this or that and wanted no parts of Mr. PRYOR!! Would have gotten drug around the ring on that night. Second fight with Hearns, got knocked down twice and they called the fight a draw!! Just stop it already!!

Mallory Livingston Simple its because ppl hate when u r on top these days especially my own ppl .

mizal215 so so true

Because Mayweather blatantly avoided and cherry picked his opponents. Where as sugar fought his rivals at their peak

micky earth yea, Marquez, corrales, cotto, de la hoya, manny, berto, gatti, canelo, hatton. Yea he definitely cherry picked. God you’re so dumb. He has always fought the best of the best. Who has he cherry picked?

memo12310 lololol you simpleton.

Leonard went up in weight to fight hagler tho

Leonard went up in weight. Pacquiao was a small junior welter midget at best and Floyd ran from him.

Beast Mode i feel the same.

Definitely Castillo and Maidana I can see it too

He was knocked down by Judah. who lost to Kostya Dzyu by knockout.

Wrong answer, for sure, no doubt, whatsoever.

Floyd did the exact same thing with Pacquiao. He dodged Pacquiao for 5 years.

@@BigBoss7777777 how do you dodge someone YOUNGER? Make it make sense.

Aceuk01 sorry RAY BEAT THE OVERRATED HAGLER

I agree haggler was robbed

Hagler never lost to Camacho.....

Wrong.

​@@AWesker99dumbass

Floyd ain't Duran though. And Ray learned from Duran. Evident in their second fight.

@@GrubKiller436 Floyd doesn't party like Duran either.... ..

@@FreestyleTunx We're talking about mental stuff here. Not sure how you changed it to the physical.

@@GrubKiller436 Durans demise wasn't down to Leonard figuring him out... He was part of the problem himself... Floyd matching up with Ray in my opinion would do better than Duran...

@@FreestyleTunx I don't see how Floyd would be living in Leonard's head rent free. Only Duran making himself come off as a savage villain managed to get under Leonard's skin. Only Duran could do that. How is Floyd going to play mind games with Leonard? I'm trying to find coherence in your argument but I don't see it. I'm not talking about Duran beating or not beating Leonard. I'm talking about Leonard vs Mayweather. Mayweather is not getting into Leonard's head especially if we're talking about a post-Duran Leonard where he understands how to be psychologically cool.

Mayweather never fought a powerful puncher with IQ like Ray Leonard. Nobody that Mayweather fought was like Ray Leonard

IV-⚫

Over a 12 round fight I genuinely believe Mayweather would be lucky to win 4 rounds against SRL.

***** Duran faster than Leonard? I hope that's a joke....

***** His nickname is hands of stone for a reason buddy. Knockout power in both hands.

two things you have to give Floyd over SRL, one activity and inactivity and 2 the battle of attrition! Floyd is arguably the most conditioned fighter of all-time! and third point, Floyd has more experience total overall and fourth point like you said Floyd has better defense!

Mayweather couldn’t punch tho , hella fractures

+Fabian Anaya Maybe not but I wouldn't be surprised if he did

brmillgr I wouldn't either .

I agree absolutely. But he'd still be among the top 5 welterweights of the current time no matter what era you throw him in

he be a top 3 welterweight don't matter what Era he fought in !

Paul Williams Yeah I agree just won't be undefeated .

Keep telling yourself that

Yup

@@corporaljericho 🤡

Floyd is great so is ray leave it alone

Good thoughts but two big differences 1) Reach 2) Power ht reach Hearns 6'1" 78" SRL 5'10" 74" Floyd 5'8" 72" El Radar 5'10" 70" Duran 5'7" 66" Floyd doesn't have the freakishly long 78" reach to be able to play a cat and mouse game with SRL, who is just as athletically gifted as him with KO power in either hand. In contrast, Floyd would have serious issues keeping Hearns or SRL off of him for 12 rounds because of their height, reach and ability to box as well as brawl. Don't see him making it past 8 against either of those two to be honest. Floyd chances would be better against Duran (who I believe he would be able to earn a tough decision against with reach and foot movement) or Benitez in terms of stylistic matchup (Benitez would be tough though).

IKON LKP uhhrý

Pacquiao is a mod range fighter

Leonard is also nothing like pacquiao. Both physically and style wise. One is long armed and tall, the other a midget with short arms and a mod range fighter, which is why it's his career is so impressive. SRL would crush Mayweather the same way a long armed tall pacquiao would wash Mayweather.

Rich Red I had Leonard by at least one round, but I would have excepted a draw. I just felt Hagler didn’t do enough to win. He got way behind in the early rounds, and got completely outsmarted. He started fighting southpaw, which was a mistake.

Nitro_001 Newman SRL just outpointed him that day
