Sugar Ray doesn't have a lot of depth at 160, other than the Hagler fight.

I'd make 2012-2018 GGG a solid favourite over SRL from the Hagler boht. But Sugar Ray's savvy and experience would keep him in the fight and will allow him to have some flashy moments here and there.

I'd favor Golovkin to stop Leonard in the 11th round in a fight that was either 6 rounds to 4 or 5 rounds to 5 on all cards at the time.

Either that or Leonard would get a decision in a fight that could've gone either way because he's Leonard.

At 160

Ggg was even with jacobs and derevenchyko. He should have a win over canelo in the first fight

Ggg struggled with jacobs movement

I think leonard would give him fits

Golovkin might be the most overrated fighter of all time

Even though I like GGG in this fight, there's no doubt that Leonard would give him fits. I can't imagine there's anyone he wouldn't give trouble to.

Either GGG caught SRL off the ropes and landed big punches to take a decision or SRL would outbox GGG behind his jabs and flashy combinations on the outside to take a decision.

But yes, point taken of course an all time great is going to give fits

My point was if danny jacobs outboxes you and beguiles you with movement, srl is going to do that twice as good
