    Hypothetical: Roy Jones Jr. vs. Sugar Ray Leonard

    My buddy and I got to talking the other day when we were watching Mike Tyson's greatest knockouts on DVD (ridiculous) and the question came up:

    Who would win in a boxing match in their prime against the other, Sugar Ray or Jones Jr? Lets pretend they fought in the same weight class (Jones Jr as mostly a light heavyweight and Robinson capping at middleweight). I see both of their fighting styles to be similar in regards to speed, with Jones Jr perhaps having more power (he is a weightclass higher, i know) but leonard having had a more intense fighting persona/attitude (if that makes sense).

    I took Sugar Ray in the fight, he swears by Jones Jr.

    Opinions?

    I'd go with my boy Sugar. Just cause I like him better that Roy, don't know why, just do.

    Also, I'm hoping Mayweather wins. Hatton seems like a real cool guy but imo is a boring boxer who tries to clinch and shit (atleast in the one fight of his i saw). This fight is also a battle of braggin rights in the atlantic and I gotta go with the homeland. Sorry England

    I would say Jones Jr. just based on the fact that he's bigger/stronger and just as quick as sugar ray who wasn't known for his power.

    Sugar Ray would probably just pull a Hagler and win.
