Floyd Mayweather Jr. Claps Back At Roy Jones Jr.

There will always be an endless debate about who would win in a dream matchup between Sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather Jr. two of the greatest welterweights to ever lace up gloves.

Both fighters were undefeated in their prime. Both possessed elite speed, IQ, and footwork. And both were masters of adaptation — capable of dismantling champions in vastly different styles. Leonard was aggressive, explosive, and vicious when it mattered most a dazzling mix of power and precision who could slug with Hearns, outthink Benítez, and survive Duran. Mayweather, meanwhile, was a defensive wizard virtually unhittable in his prime, controlling range and tempo better than any fighter of his era, outclassing punchers and tacticians alike.
