    RE: Would Roberto Duran Go Through Floyd Mayweather Jr's resume undefeated...

    A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE; Would Mayweather have all the accolades he has today if he went through Roberto Duran's resume??


    Bonus question: Would Mayweather be undefeated if he went through Oscar De La Hoya's resume?

    Well Hearns would be a nightmare for starters.

    I think if Mayweather fought everyone on Duran and Hoya's resume from 154 on down, he would do just as well or better than those two.

    If any man in history somehow went through Duran's resume undefeated they would be considered the greatest fighter of all time by such a distance it's almost laughable.

    Mayweather go through Duran's resume unbeaten....No.

    Mayweather go through DLH's resume unbeaten....No.

    Mayweather's accomplishments, undefeated 19 years, never on the canvas, no really difficult fights, amazing...yes.

    Hearns right hand would have ended Floyd.

    Cherrypicking for 3/4 of his career and slling it to the Casuals as a great accomplishment is an amazing feat.

    You think he'd beat Leonard?

    Because I don't think he could pull that off

    Who is bitter? Just responding to a moronic thread asking if Duran would be capable of coming out undefeated if he went through Jr.'s resume.

    duran would probably take a loss or two from floyd's career path as he wasn't nearly as proffesional, he lost fights he shouldn't have in his own career so he probably would in floyd's.

    floyd would have some trouble with duran's career up montreal, but he could go undefeated through that. leonard hearns ect are big trouble for him tho.

    While I think Hearns beats Mayweather, he probably does better against Hearns that Duran did :lol:

    :lol: True, but that was at a full 154 so :think maybe not. Either way, he might avoid that shot for longer than Duran did that day, but when it lands it'd be the same result :nod
