Sugar would kill Floyd, but it would be a competitive fight for awhile until Ray ended it in the eighth.

Sugar Ray Leonard would win by a close Unanimous decision.
The fight would have its fair share of good moments but i don't see it being one to remember just because there styles are very similar. I give Leonard the close decision because i think he was equally as fast as Mayweather if any think maybe a bit quicker and just as clever also Leonard had the harder punches and went a whole fight trading leather With Roberto Duran in there first fight.
Mayweather is under-rated and is not the best pound for pound in the world for nothing he has already proved himself as a true legend and would definitely give Leonard problems during certain points of the fight.

"I would pick mayweather over leonard. If mayweather could have fought Roberto Duran in his prime Duran would have won. Duran is the greatest light weight champion ever."
Didn't Sugar Ray make Duran quit a fight? I remember Sugar dancing around and never really engaged Duran so he quit. Or am I thinking of another fighter? And didn't Hearns knock Duran out with a right? Like out cold?
I think if they actually engaged each other, Mayweather might win. It would be a close, boring fight though.

You know what the funniest thing is? Back in the day people criticized leonard the same way they criticize mayweather today "he dances around too much" "he never knocks people out" "he runs away from the opponent" and all that nonsense yet today these are the same people calling him a legend,in my opinion it will be a very very close fight and i really don't know who would win although leonard is alot more comfortable at that weight than floyd, it would be a very boring fight though,because both boxers are very technical.

SUGAR RAY LEONARD just didn't get name sugar for nothing. Mayweather is fast, but leonard was to smart,and to fast for Mayweather.Alot of fighters then had alot more hart,and motivation.If they had to go 15 rounds they would.If you watch Rays figh'ts he way to fast.

Ray beats Mayweather for the same reason May beat Hatton. Ray was more natural at 147. And had the handspeed/combo punching to overwhelm the Philly Shell, and the power to keep Floyd at bay. TKO, as Ray catches FM with a good shot, and puts FM away before the final bell rings.

absolutely no idea as i think the match up would be a nightmare of a fight.it would never live up to the hype and would be a very chess like fight.if any i would prob go leonard as he could toe to toe it more than mayweather.
