Montreal Duran vs PBF at Welter

No I never aimed my post at you. I never made any implication towards anything you said.

Infact I believe I criticised floyd myself.

As I said, you rate floyd higher than I do.

Other than pac, which ww would you prefer floyd to fight? All I can think of is berto and i'm not sure he's a better ww than khan (who is moving up)

 

I wouldn't be too bothered if Mayweather fought Khan next, I just think it'll be a horribly, horribly one-sided beatdown, that's all.

 

Completely agree. Aside from the obvious opponent, the division is ****.

He's got the frame to move up I suppose but as far as ww goes the only fights i'd wanna see are pac, khan, berto and senchenko (unifications are always credit worthy in my book)

 

Never claimed Frazier was a fraud.And the source is from a lengthy Sports Illustrated article on Duran just leading up to his fight with Hagler.

 

Get a new book.

 

Absolutely not!

A champion's job is to unify the claims and defend against the top contenders.

 

well put

 

You are a fraud though.

 

No way LUF, that WBA belt means nothing considering Floyd already beat the WBA 'champion' Mosley.

And Senchenko is pants.

 

Yes, but Mayweather is above the status of a mere 'champion' in my view. Senchenko is a champion, Jan Zaveck is a champion, these guys should be looking at unifications. But guys like Pacquiao and Mayweather are above merely looking to unify against anyone available by this time, they are proven greats and current superstars, so they should be more selective in choosing opponents. They have already won the titles that define their careers, so merely unifying again against some unknown/unproven belt-holder would not be the best way to spend the short remainder of their careers, I'd rather see them facing more proven fighters irrespective of whether those guys are holding a title in the division at that point or not. I want to see Pacquiao vs Bradley, I don't want to see Pacquiao vs Senchenko at all.

 

Even in this sparse 147lb division, Senchenko is barely in the top 10. That speaks volumes IMO.

 

Ok Popkins, very balanced post. I got a ban shortly after I made this post but I'm back now, I wasn't being an ignorant ***** and not getting back to you.

:good

 

No sweat. I incur the odd ban myself. ****ing annoying.

 

I wouldn't put him above anything to be honest with you.

If he's gonna stay as a ww I wanna see unifications.

Each to their own eh?

 

Yeah fair do's mate. :good
