    hes probably right. Sugar Ray and the no mas, I imagine fighting Floyd would be just as frustrating

    The great Kirkland Laing beat a very much Live Duran :rasta

    Every once and a while Sr. gets something right. If Duran had problems with the Viruet brothers, Jr. would give him nightmares.

    The Roberto Duran from the first Leonard fight would've given Floyd hell.

    Durans prime is at lightweight. Prime Duran beats prime Floyd.

    There's some interview a while back where Roger says differently.

    Anyway, if Floyd was fighting in the same era as Duran, Floyd would not even dare speak Duran's name.

    Actually I'd give De Jesus a pretty good chance of beating Floyd.

    Floyd would be that version of Duran, who was on the come back, but he wouldn't beat the lightweight version or the version of Duran who fought SRL, or the versions who fought Barkley and Moore.
