No doubt, Leonard would win, possibly by a stoppage. A bigger sweet science master would be way too much for Manny.

Think Leonard would win around 8-10 think he would have broke paquiao down and been too big for him think manny would have his moments though

Pacquiao might do well early, but I can't see him not getting stopped here. I expect Leonard would win pretty handily in the end.

Leonard would take him apart. A case could be made either way who was better p4p but at WW Leonard crushes him, I could see Pac having some moments here and there but Leonard is the bigger man, as skilled or more so, just as fast, more powerful (possibly) etc. Not as bad as a Hearns matchup for Pac but still pretty bloody bad. As great as he and Mayweather were/are don't forget that they have been fortunate there was no great WW's in their prime at the time they were WW kings.

If Pac beat Mayweather he'd have a strong case for being better than Leonard P4P.
As it is Leonard with his wins over Hearns, Duran and Hagler is certainly ahead of him to me.
Pacquiao has had greater career longevity though, and is still getting noteworthy wins long after Leonard was already taking ass whippings from Terry Norris, and Hector Camacho so he does have that going for him.

Sugar Ray by KO in 5. Too big for The Pacman. Ironically, two of my favorite boxers.
