is an old Fat Duran beating Barkley equivalant to Mayweather beating Golovkin?

    thoughts,on this subject please...I would love to know.

    Mayweather right now is more prime than Duran then but Golovkin might be better than Iran? what do you guys think is it comparable?

    for me it might be the equivalent but I'm so anti-Floyd THESE DAYS that maybe my bias may be blinding me and I cant see the Forrest for the trees.

    you are so right but Im so covered in ***** BS from my last thread I must be getting punch drunk you are absolutely right GGG aint done squat yet.

    if Barkley were around today maybe he would put a lacing on GGG like he did on the schoolboy.

    Common RG, don't Let you hate blind your judgement. You really need to let go of your irrational hatred you are starting to look kinda silly.

    No. Duran was thought to be beyond shot at that point, hadn't beaten a decent opponent in years, but went out and beat a giant MW title holder coming off of a huge win in a war.

    Where as Floyd is still the best in the game right now, and while I'd maybe favour Golovkin due to his physical advantages, Floyd winning wouldn't surprise me all that much. GGG looks to be the best right now but he isn't near as proven as Barkley was.

    who is ggg ? the man claims to be ready for mayweather but not ward ? only difference between mayweather and ward is 20 pounds and mayweather is better boxer. so ggg ready for the better boxer because he is 20 pounds lighter. im tired of big middle weights calling out floyd then dumb ass haters saying floyd ducking the middle weights. ggg needs to ko kid chocolate, lara, chavez jr, alvarez etc etc. he has not done anything in his division to even be considered the best mw.

    Duran and Barkely beat each other unmerciful. Without the knock down Duran probably would of lost.

    Floyd isn't going into any war with GG. He gets busted up by his jab and stopped late. Beating GG is asking to much out of Mayweather.
