    Duran was great, but I've said it before, he does not just walk through Mayweather or De La Hoya.

    Fair enough but anyone who says he'd struggle with Corrales at any weight is a ******.

    Floyd hater trying to make Floyd fans look bad with ridiculous claims. Nothing to see here.

    I couldn't even make a case for Corrales even being competitive against Duran, nor have I. Corrales was an exciting fighter, but his heart and balls exceeded his actual talent, and that surely would get him KO'd against Duran, who had not only the heart and balls, but also the skill. On an entirely different subject though, to Corrales's credit he did take part in the most exciting fight I've ever seen, when he fought Castillo. May he RIP.

    Mayweather would never beat a prime Sugar Ray.

    I think, unlike his daddy, he'd see the final bell - But Ray all the way over PBF.

    Corrales (bless his soul) would've suffered the same fate as he did against Castillo the 2nd time around has it been Duran in front of him. Probably more violent.

    De La Hoya would make it competitive at 147 and 154 but had he faced the lightweight Duran, again he might've been in for a rude awakening. Honestly, I'm not that sure about the 147 version of Duran. Even though it quit against Leonard the second time around, it was still a force that stopped Pipino Cuevas, outpointed Carlos Palomino.

    Oh yeah, don't forget Bruselles. An ATG just behind Manuel Charr. :yep

    Duran is overrated. Wide open and slow.
