You are vastly underrating Duran. Duran was a multi dimensional fighter. He could box and he could fight, and he had legitimate power. You said, "what was a 35 year old Duran doing?" At 38, he was beating the **** outta Iran Barkley who knocked out Hearns and later went on to give James Toney a difficult fight. Mayweather in contrast, just fought a guy that got the beating of a lifetime on two seperate occasions, and was clearly outside of his prime, and it's still a good win, but it's not on the level of Duran beating a prime Barkley. Additionally, Duran has moves that Cotto doesn't, and has power that Cotto doesn't, and is naturally bigger than Mayweather. He would pose a significant amount of problems for Mayweather who was scared to fight Margarito. I mean, what makes you think Mayweather would even fight Duran? If we go by history, he will duck him. Mayweather is like the little engine that could, except he didn't. He just talked **** and then didn't do ****.
I am underating Duran? when i have him as my top 15 ATG? ya Floyd is scare to fight Corrales, Oscar, Hatton, Shane, and Cotto. All those fighters haters has claimed Floyd is ducking and what happened? Keep the excuses coming. Also oh yea every boxer in history is good except for Floyd and his previous opponents. THey were ALL bums.
Excuses? How the **** am I making excuses? What excuse can I make? The mother ****er said, "Margarito, we can make this fight later when it will be bigger and better. (lookin all scared as ****)" The fight never ****in happened even after Margarito gave Cotto the BEATING of a lifetime when it should have been Mayweather in the ring with Cotto in the first place! Then the mother ****er says, "I'll fight the winner of Martinez vs Williams." Then the mother ****er doesn't say **** when Martinez takes care of business. The mother ****er has been sayin for YEARS that he will fight Pacquaio. How many ****in times do I gotta hear, "Pacquaio, you're next." I mean, what the ****? First it was drug testing, then he had to have someone in Pacquaio's gym to watch him train, then it's money...etc etc... How the **** am I making excuses when the fights never ****in happened and the mother ****er said, MAKE THE FIGHT. What the ****? How the **** is that not duckin. I don't give a **** who he fought. That's fine. He still ducked mother ****in Margarito, Martinez and Pacquaio. You know how I know? He ran his mouth talkin all that ****, but did the fight take place? **** no. And right now you got Martinez willing to come down to 154 and fight Floyd for $10. You tell me, is Floyd gonna take that fight? **** no. History doesn't lie. And he fought Cotto after two guys gave him the BEATING of a LIFETIME. I mean ****... You tell me, how the **** am I making excuses. I'm just stating the FACTS.
Don't twist this **** up. Admit that you were ****in wrong. You made it seem like Duran was done at 35, and tryin to big up Mayweather who won't ****in fight the people he says he's gonna fight and has been doin this **** for years, to make it look like Duran didn't do **** at an old age. So, why the **** you tryin to lie right now? I mean, you could say, you know what, I was wrong about that, but I still think Mayweather would win. That's fine. Mayweather could win, but the fact remains, his ass DUCKS a lot of ****in fighters. I doubt Duran would be an exception. PERIOD.
I put a lot of **** for you dumbasses for self-discovery. I don't make big vague statement. "oh you will KO him easy" "oh he is a ***** and won't fight anyone". Thats you trolls. I am merely flipping the coin throughout the whole debate. You guys pulling castillo, pulling judah, pulling cotto as if Floyd shouldn't ever struggle, I put those statements for the DAs to realize that Duran has loss to lesser opponents WHICH I HAVE ALREADY STATED A LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TIME AGO. COME BACK TO REALITY!
quit exagerating ****. How many opponents did FLoyd really duck???? And how many opponents DUCKED HIM when he was begging for a fight trying to make millions?
I agree that Floyd could beat Duran, but I think he would duck him. Just like I agree that Floyd could beat Pacquaio, but he's duckin him. That's all I'm sayin because Floyd ducks fighters.
I already said my piece. 130-140 Floyd wins easy IMO, 147 Duran bc FLoyd is not carrying the weight well.
i disagree. Mayweather hasn't beaten anyone of durans calibre to make me feel mayweather would win. Duran has that win over Leonard which gives you a blueprint of how it could go. And leonard is better than floyd. i pick duran at all weights. But still. Would be a great fight between 2 ATG's
