Montreal Roberto Duran vs 2007 Floyd mayweather

Floyd on points over 12 or 15, take your pick.

 

Which Roberto? 1968 -1976, 77 - 1983 or post 1983?

 

Toss up.

 

68 - 76 Duran is at lightweight. I think he may get a decision over light weight Floyd Mayweather. Maybe?

After that PBF beats Duran anytime post 1977!

 

Floyd Mayweather UD.

He could go all night in 07'

 

Floyd by disqualification. Duran is pummeling him puts Floyd on his knees and hits him while down. Duran could give 2 shits about a belt or a win to him giving anyone a beating thats a win to him. Seeing Floyd writhing on the canvas is a win.

 

The Duran that beat Leonard in the brawl in Montreal beats Mayweather on points IMO. Mayweather has fought nobody of his caliber really. Would be a competitive fight though of course.

 

I disagree with that wholly. To this day I truly believe if SRL's body language was different it would've been a draw!

 

Uncle Roger jumps in the ring late in the fight. Floyd aint having his way this aint Baldomir, Cotto, or even Oscar. Team Mayweather avoid Duran at all costs to begin with. Duran would get in Floyds head not what Floyd is used to doing to his opponents. Montreal Duran TKO 12 Mayweather. Any other night probably Floyd edges him or draws, tho lightweight Duran I think could beat him too.

 

Duran UD.

 

Duran clearly.

 

Duran has to mug his opponents, if you can box and move well Duran has problems. I would say Floyd by decision, Floyd would go toe to toe like Leonard in the first fight and would box like Leonard in the second fight.

 

Floyd has very efficient footwork, but when push came to shove from a savvy inside fighter, his style always fell back on his masterful guard and counter-punching against the ropes. The likes of Leonard had much more lateral movement than Floyd has shown anywhere above 130, and so the fight will inevitable end up on the inside. Duran is the superior inside fighter, and he'd control the fight at that range. The fight would be competitive, but I see Duran taking a clear decision or late stoppage.

 

This fight never would have happened.Floyd Mayweather NEVER fought anyone close to Duran in his prime.Plus he OBVIOUSLY never beat anyone close to Duran in his prime,either.Does anyone out there believe that Mayweather would have fought Leonard,Hearns(when Duran was clearly past his prime)or Hagler(see Hearns,lol)?****ing laughable.
