is there anyway floyd could have beaten leonard?

[MurkaMan]

what does any of that have to do with how a fight would play out,,,,

you cares when SRL started boxing or did drugs or washed up by 30,,, at his peak from 78-82 he was one of the greatest ever,,,

If floyd so much better, than how did SRL have a gold medal and floyd a bronze, SRL was always the A-side in a fight, and floyd needed over a decade as a pro and oscar to become the A-side

What does being an A-side have to do with being a true champion? My point was that SRL wasnt born to box. It was a hobby he took up in his teens, and he just happened to be great at it. Without boxing, Floyd is nothing. Floyd has a bronze because he was robbed. And if he fought SRL I think it would be a mismatch. Nothing about SRL would cause any problems for Floyd. Maybe a fighter like Pac or Pryor because of their speed, punch output, power. But its so many ways Floyd could deal with those things. SRL is a great fighter but a MUCH worse cherrypicker than Floyd. Floyd fights anyone, and people automatically call it a cherrypick because he's so good. SRL literally sat on the sideline, meticulously calculating every single fight he took. Every tough fighter he fought, was carefully chosen. Its NO WAY he would fight Floyd. But its NO WAY Floyd would look at him, and see the same beast he saw in Pacman who basically fights like an azzbeating android. Nothing against SRL, he's just overrated and everyone here hates to admit that.

A lie huh?? I definitely do believe Floyd could beat Sugar Ray right now. There's no lie involved there.

No you believe that he would beat him in his prime. Everyone knows that. But as I pointed out earlier, boxing fans hate to admit when a fighter of a present era is better than a fighter of a past era!

Have you forgotten all the ducking and cherrypicking SRL has done? MUCH worse than Floyd. Its NO WAY SRL would fight Floyd. I honestly think Floyd would look at SRL as just another opponent. Its nothing about SRL thats extraordinary that would make Floyd look at him as some beast. When I look at Pac and how he throws a thousand blazing punches, phenomenal power, never gets tired I can see someone ducking him. SRL is not really anything special. A little bit of heart, speed, power, and footwork. No skills, or crazy power.

yeah cuz fighting a #1 contender and lightweight champ ATG duran, undefeated prime hearns, undefeated prime benitez and undefeated jr mid champ ayuble, and coming off a 5 year layoff to dethrone the MW champ hagler is a bunch of cherrypicks,, You are the worst poster on here,,

He cherrypicked Duran who was a lightweight, he was a favorite to win and lost because he was "mentally weak" Failed to make adjustments and find a way to win. The rematch was a cherrypick. SRL has openly admitted to fighting him at the right time because he knew Duran would be out of shape.

He meticulously waited until Hagler was old, and fought him. His cherrypicking was so blatant. He has openly admitted that at the time he knew he could finally beat him.

He ducked Pryor, and even didnt want to fight Herns until he felt he could beat him.

SRL was a BLATANT cherrypicker. I like the way you highlight a portion of my comment then ignore the rest! Pickin and Choosin!!

[ModernTalking]

Yes there is a way and it start with getting in the ring...something he would never do.

He didnt cherrypick duran,, duran moved up and won a few welter fights before he met SRL,, same thing that shane did years later when he fought oscar,,, was oscar cherrypicking??? How the hell can you cherrypick a guy who just beat you,,, Floyd must have cherrypicked JLC in the rematch as well,,,,,
SRL fought hearns when hearns was unstoppable and seemed to be an invincible monster,
Pryor rejected fights with SRL,, we have had many discussions about it in the history section,,,, pryor also turned down a duran fight

SRL timed the hagler fight,,, that is correct, but hagler was an ATG and SRL ended his reign,,,, Nobody had beaten hagler for the belt, so you cant really call it a cherrypick,, how is fighting the undisputed mw champ a cherrypick,,,

But honestly,, you have the dumbest posts, so i am done talking with you,

Now I'm confused. So where was my "lie" exactly??

[MAUSEBURG]

Mayweather will lose and end up doing the chicken dance.

SRL calcuated EVERY tough fight he has had. Thats just his nature and he has done several interviews that all of us have seen and heard. I dont care about Duran wining titles, SRL fought him because he felt he would win easily. And yes, Oscar cherrypicked. Floyd and Pac are two of the few smaller guys that have beaten him.

SRL has done several interviews stating how he wanted to fight him right away in the rematch because he knew he would gain weight. Why not take a rest and give him time to be at his best? Oh because thats not in SRL's nature. And we all know this I dont even know why your arguing it.

Dont compare Floyd to SRL. Floyd can fight anyone and people automatically call it a cherrypick. When he fought JLC he complained about a bad shoulder from the SECOND round. Before he knew he would lose. He didnt make up that as an excuse at the end of the fight. Floyd does NOTHING similar to SRL. And he's going to win either way.

SRL is not really a brave type of warrior. He fought Herns when he felt he could beat him. We all know he didnt want that fight. He ran around the ring with that scared facial expression, then once he realized he could hurt him he had an exaggerated mean face, while coming forward like he's billy bad ass. That made him look like a sucker. Whether Floyd can hurt you or not, he will walk your ass down and his face will be taciturn almost as if it were effortless. Floyd was born for this SRL was not.

SRL wanted no part of Pryor. You have your opinion I have mine. SRL is not really the type of fighter to just go and fight a badass like Pryor. When I found out about the sparring sessions it all made sense.


Yea SRL did duck and cherrypick Hagler, but based on all the facts thats in SRL's nature. He padded his resume with illneeded rematches with all the guys he had already beaten, and the only rematch we wanted to see, he did not deliver. All Im saying is he is overrated, and Floyd doesnt get enough credit. He's much more of a fighter, and WAAAY better skills.

Lie? I didnt call you a lie in that post LOL. You already responded to the post I called you a lie in. But you lie about your feelings. These agendas you always push to prove something. There is nothing to prove.
