Roberto Duran VS Floyd $ prime at 135lbs

Duran was a better boxer than most think. His pressure and body attack too much
for Floyd. Agree Duran tko/ko 12 to 15.

 

Floyd Mayweather's prime fighting weight WAS NOT 135:huh..

Mayweather's prime fighting weight was 147, a division he stepped into around 2005...

You would need cops at the pre fight press conference to keep the peace with all of the trash talk, they would probably be yelling racial slurs at each other and Duran would be grabbing his crotch insulting Mayweathers manhood it would be classic..

At 135 Duran WINS A CLOSE UD...

 

You might like to take that observation to the Leonard / Mayweather thread. Plenty of Leonard fanboys will be waiting to take you up on it.

For the record Duran would be like 2 JLC's at the same time, IMO. Stoppage win for him anytime after the 10th.

 

Duran is superman at 135. He's going to get favored over anybody at that weight.

 

At 135 it has to be Duran and I agree the trash talk would be ATG level.

 

I'd love to watch this fight, I can just see Mayweather landing one of his best combo's of the night, only to see Duran sneer at him and come forward looking to start a war. That would be priceless.

I just don't think Mayweather has the power to deter Duran from walking him down, but at 135 who did?

 

Floyd has nothing to keep Duran honest at 135. By round 7 the fight turns into Castillo Mayweather only worse and Floyd either runs or gets stopped late. If it's a 12 round fight Mayeweather loses a UD if it's 15 it's likely a stoppage.

 

The 24/7 & faceoff with Kellerman would be epic:bbb:bbb Big $$$$ laid on Duran attacking both of them, the weigh in would be a scream, Duran beating Ellerbe up, head butting floyd, going mental, in reality they'd put up a barbed wire fence on stage to protect team mayweather who'd have shyte themselves:deal

 

If De Jesus could do it and Leonard could make him quit, Floyd wins too.

 

De Jesus was early in Duran's career, which Duran easily avenged twice
and Floyd is nothing close to Ray Leonard's level

 

I think De Jesus could potentially beat Floyd he was that good. In fact but for Duran, I think De Jesus would be a household name.

 

His name is based on beating Duran.

 

And what's your point? did you see the 3 fights, if you did you'd know they were 3 great fights and De Jesus displayed a level of power I've yet to see Mayweather demonstrate. He went to war with Duran, didn't win, but he still went to war. I'm pretty sure Mayweather doesn't have the power to drop Duran, since Duran was really only dropped a couple of times in well over 100 fights and he was the WBC lightweight champion briefly and his record was 57-5 with 32 Ko's. so he certainly no 3rd rate fighter like you're trying to imply. Mayweather might be able to win a decision against him, but he'd know he'd been in a fight, that much I'm sure.
