While Ray has a chance, I think Jake edges him on a MD. Ray is not Robinson.

Leonard was levels above Jake. He would outbox Jake for sure, too elusive and sublime.

Leonard would be a little less fleet of foot as a Middleweight, but he'd be smart enough to know he needs to keep moving, and outbox Lamotta which I think he'd succeed at.

Leonard had a great chin and his chin negates Lamotta being the bigger man . His speed and combinations would lead him to a win.
