Middleweights: Gerald McClellan vs Sugar Ray Leonard

[elmersalsa]

Who wins?

[Noxy]

SRL

Leonard could outbox McClellan in several rounds, but McClellan's power would prove to be quite difficult for him. I think Leonard may be able to eke out a narrow decision, but if McClellan drops him a few times it might swing McClellan's way.

SRL would out-box the G-Man at long range behind his jabs and combinations without engaging him to take a decision.

[Crease]

Leonard... Too skilled, too quick, too elusive...

[DrDuke]

Leonard... Too skilled, too quick, too elusive...

This.

What is the point of reference here?

Are we talking a mythical peak '79 - '82 SRL taking his peak form up to 160, or are we talking the actual MW SRL of 1987?

If it is the former, I would say that Leonard's skills and speed would be too much for McClellan, but if is the latter, I might inch towards the G-Man.

Gerald stops Sugar in the 11th, in a thriller.
