did he have KO power? was he good defensively? was he a quick boxer? was he a brawler? Is there someone today that fights similar to Ray?

At welterweight, yes to all your questions. Someone that fights similar to Ray? No-one. But Floyd Mayweather, in flashes, fights like Ray. As far as what style...classic boxer would best define him, but he could abandon classy boxing and fight well as a slugger or infighter. He had the complete package.
***ADDITIONAL***
I generally don't joust with individual people in this format, but the dude below me needs to send me rounds 13, 14 and 15 of Leonard-Hagler, as I've never seen them.

boxer, or boxer-puncher.He was good defensively, but a little overrated, which caused him some problems with Hearns. Probably a few fighters have the Ray Leonard style, Floyd definitely has flashes of him.

he could box and brawl. Here is a great clip of him early in his career fighting Floyd Mayweather Sr (father of the current pound for pound best fighter)
This is great footage and would be a blue print of how to beat floyd jr. :)
