Some of J'Leon Love's most notable fights include a fight against Gabriel Rosado on May 4, 2013. Love faced Rosado on the undercard of a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Robert Guerrero. Love won the split decision, however, he tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic used by athletes to cut weight after the fight, causing the decision to be overturned from a split decision win to a no contest.
Another notable fight took place on August 4, 2018, when Love lost to former WBO champion Peter Quillin. He was mainly on the defensive side during the fight, as Quillin pressed the pace and attacked. The judges scored the fight 98-92 twice and 99-11 once and awarded Quillin the unanimous-decision victory. Love fought another former champion, David Benavidez, in his next fight. Both fighters had their moments in the opening round. Still, in the second round, Benavidez was the one pushing the pace and coming forward. Halfway through the round, Benavidez landed a huge right hand, followed by a flurry of punches that forced Love into a stoppage.
