    Who do you think is the surer pick against Floyd between Robearto(e) and Pernell?

    and did you hear about how Bundrage has it in his contract so that GBP won't ever put him in with Erizlandy?

    Eh, Duran ran hot and cold (SRL 1/SRL 2, Laing/Moore, Barkley,SRL 3, etc..) after 135.

    I say at 154 it's 50/50, maybe 45/55 in favor of Floyd.

    I think Duran has a better chance at beating Floyd. Good question though.

    And I never seen a duck so big :-( I know Lara was the most feared, but wow

    :lol: The reason people pick against Manny and Floyd so much

    against at least 3 of the Fab 4

    is size. LMFAO

    It's not because of over rating the former ATGS.. It's because Floyd and Manny are midgets compare to Hagler Hearns and Leonard who are natural WW'S

    Floyd and Manny are 130-135 pound fighters.

    The only sensible post in the thread.

    The OTHER 3 ATG's were giants in comparison to Roberto size wise.

    Both Manny and FMJ are insignificant nonentities between 135 - 154 compared to Duran. He bullies them at will.

    Very true, and in fact Hagler is no natural WW at all, he's a MW and Hearn's was probably the biggest WW in history, and certainly had the best punching power and Leonard was the most skilled of the bunch. So using losses to them as comparision to how Duran would do against Pac and Floyd is utter nonesense. Nieither Pac nor Floyd would make it into the mid rounds against any of these three, particularly Hagler.

    Well put:good.On top of that,just who did Floyd beat that's better than Duran at 135-147?This fight actually would never have taken place because Floyd would have looked for a way to avoid him.

    Actually Duran only lost once at 135 and once at 147 when he pulled the quitjob against Leonard in their second.He defo ran hot and cold 154 and above.
