So what Im saying is the P4P id rate em: Duran SRL Floyd Hagler Hearns Id put Floyd around 14th all time P4P.
C, you know I've the ultimate respect for you as a poster, but have you lost your mind? Duran's chin was a liability? How? In his 1st 72 fights from 119 pounds to 147, he was knocked down twice on 2 separate occasions against DeJesus, who he stopped twice. He was never off his feet at 147, and wasn't stopped until the past prime version was whacked out at 154 against atg puncher Tommy Hearns. Atg middle Hagler and rugged puncher Barkley couldn't stop him, although considering round 6 in their fight, I believe Hags would have stopped him had he pressed it. How was his chin a liability? And Leonard's chin was just decent? How so? I firmly believe that Mayweather 0 makes the youngster's viewing through the rose colored glasses that you claimed. Split decisions Hearns? Based on what performance(s) do you refer? Truth be told, I think Floyd would rather move back to their common state of Michigan than ever ponder facing Tommy in the ring.
Do all the research that you possible could with all the references that you possible can find and just mention ANY and I do mean ANY boxing expert that would claim that Mayweather is a better welterweight than Ray Leonard.
I meant against the elite, and the Floyd that dismantled and stopped Chico Corrales at 130 could have possibly stopped Duran, although it would be a longshot. As far as Hearns goes I think it would end up looking similar to his matches with Leonard, Hearns winning is completely feasible as well, that's why I only went with a SD. And for the record I'm not Floyd's biggest fan, I prefer all 4 of them to him.
Floyd at 130 stopping Duran? Seriously, have you lost your mind? Based on what? I need to read your (ill)logic on the matter because I am beyond dumbfounded.
Slight possibility or not, why did you write that? Was there some performance that we've all missed at 130-you mentioned the Corrales fight that atschwould indicate that Floyd, a very good puncher at 130, but not a banger, would stop a granite chinned lightweight, who was also a great defensive fighter, in Duran? Long shot or not, how would that be plausible?
Floyd's skills are superior to all of the Fab 4, however eliminate Hagler because he is a middleweight, Floyd has never fought at middleweight. I believe Floyd would hold his own against the other 3 at 147. As a matter of fact he probably would win his fair share of matches against them.
Floyd never would have gotten into the ring against any one of them in the 1st place:yep. He would have found an excuse to avoid all of them, unless he could have caught them past prime.
You're not getting off that easy. Once again, Duran was knocked down twice in actually 80 plus fights before Tommy stopped the past prime version at 154. Floyd was a very good puncher at ONE THIRTY and basically that's it. What performance(s) on either one of their parts would indicate that any lucky home run punch coming from Mayweather MIGHT stop Duran? Honestly I expect this kind of **** from MVC.
I'm just refering to the it's never gonna happen stuff....Floyd is great, at lower weights, but he lacks the ***** of the 4
