Leonard would win. Too fast and elusive for Nino.

I'd favor Leonard. Nino would hold his own well enough to win about 4 or 5 rounds, and stay with him till the end. I'm sure he'd have his moments, and land his share of shots in rounds he loses too.

But yeah Leonard is just too slick, too quick, and too good. I can't imagine he doesn't beat Benvenuti.
