Is Floyd Mayweather as Talented as Sugar Ray Leonard?

[Super_Lightweight]

Hatton and Cotto dont want to fight, atleast not yet anyways, he has challenged them at 140 and no response. hatton people even said they dont want it, they dont even want it with Collazo no more. Cotto should of lost to Corley, he just aint ready and he really aint fought nobody. Zoo is retired and should be and if i can recall Zab was slightly gettin in that ass before the chicken dance. Delahoya is up now and Margarito will get is once he fights a contender or pushes himself. Maybe he needs to move up and fight Oouma or somebody.

Yeah bull****. PPL make 'offers' all the time. I never saw a legit offer for that fight, period. Floyd sure didn't want Margarito when offered millions, so why should anyone believe he went AFTER Cotto or Hatton? Maybe he will one day, but he has not yet.

Of course Hatton doesn't want it with Collazo. Collazo is a big southpaw with skills. Hatton could fight the smaller and more orthodox fighter in Floyd for much more money. Hatton said he'll be ready for Floyd shortly. Just wants a couple U.S. fights.

There is no one left at 140 for Cotto to fight except for top guys, and Floyd is one of them. Saying Cotto shouldn't get a fight with Mayweather because he 'hasn't fought anyone' is a bull**** excuse. I don't think Cotto will beat Floyd, but that doesn't mean the fight shouldn't happen.

Who cares what Zab did to Zoo before he was cold-****ed YEARS ago?

Margarito has no one to fight that will make a fight with Floyd any more better or necessary. The time is now, unless Floyd gets it on with DLH. Margarito is considered number 1 at 147 by RING, unless he was taken down from that spot because Floyd moved up...even though Floyd has done nothing noteworthy at 147 vs a real welterweight.

The fact is that SRL is way bigger than Mayweather, stronger, and more versatile. He could brawl, box and is one of the smartest boxers to EVER fight.

I favor SRL for sure.

He said it. Mayweather is good, no question. Great? That remains to be seen. He needs to fight the top competition the next few years and then we will have a better idea on what this guy is all about. Right now it is speculation. He is damn good but he needs to show a lot more before being compared to Sugar, or many of the greats that Sugar beat. I think SRL would beat Mayweather convincingly in a fight. Mayweather might keep it competitive, but I don't see SRL losing in any scenario.

Hes great, but is he great at welter?
Thats the question.

great post man, no way can leonard or mayweather compare to margarito the man is the combination of chavez, duran and armstrong.

I'm sorry, but did you just say Margarito was a combination of Chavez, Duran, and Armstrong? Yeah, maybe if they were disabled or were ******ed or something. What made you think that, his win over Manuel Gomez? Oh, I'm sorry, you got that one off. He beat Kermit Cintron

first off leanord didn't beat hagler, i watched the fight many of times and i still give the fight to hagler, leanord didn't make hagler retire either hagler didn't want to be apart of that bull**** anymore he knew he won the fight and he also knew it would of been virtually impossible to get a decision over leanord just like delahoya now, leanord was a big draw for boxing especially coming back after a layoff, he looked good in the fight but in my opinion hagler won.

This does my head in whe people say stuff like he didnt beat him and he didnt beat him, and the guy there saying that lost got the decision in a close fight! But I see you said the right thing at the end of your post by saying it was your opinion! More people should use this word.

NO, not at all

super lightweight u trippin

[QUOTE=Super_Lightweight] PPL make 'offers' all the time. I never saw a legit offer for that fight, period.

How do u know what was offered, u dont work for anyone of these camps, and it has been noted by their handlers that neither one of them wanted it, Arum has been protecting Cotto for awile now, and Hattons people said they wanted no parts until 2007 once hatton gets more of fan base in america which is cool. Im not saying hatton scared, but I am saying he aint in no hurry to get in there no time soon for whatever reason



Floyd sure didn't want Margarito when offered millions,

Of course Hatton doesn't want it with Collazo. Collazo is a big southpaw with skills. Hatton could fight the smaller and more orthodox fighter in Floyd for much more money.

Here is where u conflicted, how u gon say Floyd dont want it with Margarito when offered millions and then turn around say hatton should fight Floyd, the smaller fighter for more $$$. I think that is the exact thing Floyd is doing right now. How u gon knock Floyd but raise hatton on a pedestal for the exact same thing

There is no one left at 140 for Cotto to fight except for top guys, and Floyd is one of them. Saying Cotto shouldn't get a fight with Mayweather because he 'hasn't fought anyone' is a bull**** excuse.

I never said the fight shouldnt happen, I think it should but Cotto has to accept the fight and quit being a coward, after all Floyd is smaller right. Dont try and fight Gatti after maliginaggi or Corrales/Castillo. face it dude, Cotto walking on shells.



Margarito has no one to fight that will make a fight with Floyd any more better or necessary.

One of the biggest knocks on Margarito is that he hasnt fought anybody, well fight somebody serious before u try and take on the best
Margarito is considered number 1 at 147 by RING,

who cares what a ****zines says, they dont fight. QUOTE]
