Sugar Ray wins. They always underestimated him and all he did was win.

Floyd would have dodged Sugar until he was out of his prime and then fought him

Floyd was better but the judges always cheated for Leonard so it’s a toss up.

Sugar Ray would pepper him all fight long.

I’d take Marvin Hagler over both.

But I have a pair of balls so maybe that’s why I like him over these two.

Head to head SRL is just a really bad matchup for Floyd. The perfect boxer to give Floyd trouble.

Even if Mayweather could technically win.....

Would watch Sugar Ray 1000% over Floyd.

Which means for me to watch this hypothetical....

Sugar Ray might get tired carrying the fight.

Leonard wins, the judges would see to that.

Gotta go with Leonard, especially if both are in their prime.

And no, I don't equate Leonard KO'ing Floyd Sr. as an indicator he would do the same against Jr. since Sr. wasn't near as good a boxer as Jr.

This is exactly what would have happened

Mayweather would avoid Leonard at all costs and if they fought Leonard by Lopsided Decision

Leonard fought the best and didn't dodge anyone. He's a badass. Wouldn't go five.

Well, the mayweather runs, 8

This

Leonard was the better fighter of the two but Mayweather was the smarter 'business man' and wouldn't have fought him until he was washed and got the W.

Leonard ran the gauntlet back in the day.
Hearns, Duran, Hagler

I don’t like either but Ray may take him.

Well, considering Hagler has been dead for a few years now, that's a hell of a statement.

The only one of the two Hagler fought was Leonard in Hagler's last fight and Ray took a decision--------------------a bad decision in a lot of people's eyes that saw that fight-----me included.

Leonard didn't do a lot until the last 30 seconds of many of the rounds and threw punches in pitty-pat flurries trying to steal rounds. Guess the judges were easily impressed by that.

Hagler was so disgusted with the decision he retired from boxing and eventually moved to Italy.

Hagler didn't do shite in that fight. If he was disgusted it should have been with himself. Here he is, a natural middleweight with a big size advantage and he crapped the bed. Leonard is one of the all time greats. To answer your question OP Leonard every day of the week.

Leonard beat a prime Hearns, one of the great middleweights Hagler, an incredible boxer Benitez and lost a close one against one of the very best pound for pound fighters ever, Duran. What a resume.

The no mas fight I only give him credit for getting Duran back in the ring when he was hard partying and had to lose 30 or 40 pounds in a short period of time. He and his manager Trainer gave Duran a financial offer he couldn't refuse.

BTW, have you seen the Hagler vs. Duran fight? Duran gave him a very tough fight. From lightweight to welterweight to middleweight, what a huge jump in weight classes.
