Question

Ray Leonard won a title from Donny LaLonde at 175, if Ray fought Michael Moorer at 175 who wins?

Answer 1

RAY WILL HAVE RUN AND DANCE JUST TO STAY LIVE - MOORER WINS AN EASY 15 RD UNANIMOUS DECISION.

Answer 2

Leonard was not convincing vs. a marginally talented statue like LaLonde. He would be even less convincing against Moorer. Moorer's southpaw stance would trouble Ray a lot, as would his size. LaLonde only had one good hand, Moorer has two and he hits a lot harder and faster than Donny.



I agree with Devon that Ray had underrated power....at Welterweight. He couldn't break a balloon at Middleweight. He would be even less effective at Light heavy. He would realize that early on and seek only to survive ala Camacho vs. Trinidad. He'd run, clinch and occasionally slap. He'd survive only to lose a unanimous decision.

Answer 3

Sugar all the way. Leonard is to quick and his power was underestimated. Leonard in 8 TKO.

Answer 4

Good question sir. What comes to mind here is a good little man vs a good big man. Leonard always had great boxing ability and handspedd without a doubt. And LaLonde is nowhere the quality of a fighter that Moorer was especially at 175 as he is a better overall fighter. I believe that Moorer dominates Leonard and catches him with hard shots in round 10 forcing the referee to halt the contest.
