Duran has a proven ATG chin. Mayweather hasnt fought anybody who is as powerful as guys like Hagler, Hearns, and Barkley
Duran without question the better all time fighter. Nobody questioning that. I do vote on this matter, however, for Floyd.
What a load of nonsense. Look at who Duran fought and look at the light punchers Floyd has fought. Duran's defense was not as good as Floyds, but his competition surpassed his by a country mile. Getting rocked by Corley isn't really the same as being hit by Hearns atsch
But has Floyd ever fought a fighter like Tommy Hearns. And he went 15 rounds with ATG middleweight in Haglar.
Duran fought everyone he could who was a great, I give him credit for that, and when you fight everyone you are going to get stopped sometimes. Floyd has not fought everyone. Not many guys could take the punches of Hearns the night Duran fought Hearns. We really do not know how good Floyd's chin is.
Trust me, if Hearns existed today, Mayweather would get caught just like he did against Mosley by a right and been on his back. No way Mayweather could even box with Hearns, too long and tall. Either that or Floyd would duck him like the plague. Hearns was a top ATG and was only plagued by fighting in an era with Leonard and Hagler. And for anyone who want to place Floyd's chin over Durans, do you honestly see Floyd lasting 15 rounds with Hagler in 1984?
Based on that Hearns fight alone you have to say Floyd. Duran beat dropped a few times and stopped. Floyd has barley been wobbled in his career.
Yes. JMM and shot Mosley are great wins which were comparable to Hagler and Hearns. OHHH YEAH....:hammertime
