Duran vs the following

Showing your usual class i see

 

Lol i am not surprised by this answer,johnthomas1 in every one of my posts

 

Can I have that in English please?

 

Bien, ahora hablo en español ,por favor alegrame el día y responde en español,quiero humillarte como la rata que eres hahaha,suicidate desperdicio humado,vete a chuparle las bolas a Duran lmao

 

Oh cool! I can understand Spanish!

Well ... that's if f&d said something along the lines of how he's going to humiliate Neebur like a rat, that he should kill himself and that he ought to suck Duran's bals.

I assume not in that exact order.

 

Anyway, in no universe does Floyd > Duran.

If Maidana gave Floyd a hard time, Duran lights him up like a christmas tree

 

I can talk with you respectful because like i told you yesterday.. you dont insult anyone for picking mayweather to beat Duran(example).but this forum is full of infantile garbage like that

 

I think Duran is a bit overrated at welter and nothing special at middleweight. GGG would take Duran out quickly. 135-140 is Duran's best stuff but even in his prime at this weight, his competition to me was nothing special. You did list better fighters at 135-140 below.




vs Pacquiao >>>I'd pick Pacquaio. He's got too much power.

vs JMM >>>Great match, I'd side with Duran, via Split decision

vs FMJ >>> Mayweather on points, his defense, counting and speed are too good.

vs Whitaker >>>Duran on points, he's too active and Whitaker doesn't; hit hard enough

vs Hatton >>>Duran, TKO mid rounds

vs Gatti at 140 >>> Duran TKO late rounds, Fight of the year candidate.

vs M.Taylor at 140. >>> Close fight, to win, I think Duran needs a stoppage.

vs JCC at 140 >>> Duran on points, his hand speed is the difference.

vs SRR at 147 >>>Robinson via TKO. He hits harder and has too many skills.

vs Cotto >>> 50/50. Duran would need to work the body.

vs Mosley at 147 >>Mosley via UD

vs ODLH at 147 >>>De LA Hoya via UD. Too long.

vs Trinidad at 147 >>> Tough fight! No call here.

vs Mayorga >>> Duran via UD

vs Alvarez >>Alvarev via UD

vs 2001 Hopkins at 160 >>>Hopikins via UD

vs GGG at 160 >>> GGG via stoppage inside six rounds

 

Agreed with the last post except for i pick whitaker to beat him

 

Hagler at times was too risk adverse and you have to wonder why because he took a fine punch and was at his best moving forward. He gave a much smaller Duran too much respect.

Duran as a welter or junior middle wasn't that great. He was quickly axed by Hearns in two ( KO'd by one punch ) , and could not take Ray Leonard's body shots and exited by saying no more.

There is no way he's last vs GGG. GGG's simply too big, and hits too hard to the head or body. Duran, 5'7" tall, with a 66" reach had to force the action. Standing and trading with Golovin, who's like a prime focused Mike Tyson at middleweight means he's destroyed.

 

GGG is so sadly underrated today by a few posters on this forum. Who did he beat , is always asked by some ? Well WHOM has he avoided at his weight I respond.? A man can only fight the fighters only in his generation. No more, No less. GGG has the guile, the chin, in over 350 bouts as an amateur and pro
Golovkin has NEVER been floored. Simply astounding. He can break ribs with his
searing shots to the body ala Tony Zale and Mike McAllum when he cannot reach his opponents chin slowing his opponent down and then he lands his ko punches... At their bests because of being much bigger than Duran I would put my dough on GGG to hit him in the "slats" as Ruby Robert Fitz did and beat
the great smaller Duran...Any bets ?

 

Picking Duran over golovkin h2h at160 shows how pathetic and biased can be this forum

 

Could be wrong but I'd bet that most of the people who badmouth GGG on here have only seen snippets of his fights. That's the problem with evaluating fighters strictly by boxrec and "ATG" rankings.

 

'who did GGG beat?' is a far more important question than 'Who did GGG avoid?' when assessing GGG'S skills vs great fighters in fantasy match ups. Burt, how the hell can we assess GGG'S skills in fantasy matches when he's fought at best B class opposition?

GGG is overrated big time.
