    Every person you mentioned would beat Floyd, 3 of them would probably win by stoppage. This is why people don't take some Floyd fans seriously

    Typical loser argument. Hey dummy in case you hadn't noticed championship boxing fights are 12 rounds not 7. Stamina is part of boxing just like defense is and Oscar has a history of fading late in fights that's a flaw and one of the reasons why he's not greater than PBF.:deal: PBF took Oscar's jab away landed the harder cleaner shots and beat Oscar going away clearly 9-3 or 8-4 at worst. It wasn't close.

    You mean Pac could have fought a prime PBF but chose to duck because he didn't want random blood testing with no cutoffs get that right.

    At 130 135 or 140 I think PBF could araguably beat any fighter in history at 147 I see him losing at
    Once again you show know don't know **** about boxing and your ignorance has no bounds by posting a sparring video as some sort of proof like a damn novice that you're. PBF would beat the living **** out of Paulie in a boxing match that guy was B- level at best, sparring isn't real fighting. You also show you have an agenda by posting videos from that POS anti-American boxing channel as well.

    PBF would arguably beat anyone in boxing history at 130, 135 and 140. At 147 he loses to guys like Hearns and SRR at 154 many of the ATG fighters there could beat him.

    No one in boxing history murders PBF at 135 or below he's too good too tough and too defensively sound.:deal: BTW Duran struggled with guys who used movement like PBF. PBF is actually a stylistic nightmare for Duran, who matches up better with guys like Pac not PBF.

    The last time I checked you don't need to punch hard to put on a clinic. How hard did Pea Whitaker punch when he boxed circles around JCC? Lesser fighters than PBF beat Duran remember that.:deal:

    PBF was also 37 and past his best but for what ever reason you left that out as if it means nothing. A prime PBF would make easy work of Maidana. PBF is the only fighter who for his whole career was prime LMFAO.

    I did not say that, I know Floyd was not in his prime after 33 , but I believe Duran in his prime would beat floyd. Do you think it’s crazy for me to think that one atg would have a chance beating other atg in his prime?

    Of course not. I just happen to think PBF is a horrible styles match for Duran. A short armed guy who struggles with movement against a guy like PBF who knows how to fight tall with superior reflexes great counter punching ATG defense ATG ring IQ who has a chin and doesn't fade.

    Duran beat the crap out of Roger. PBF doesn't use movement like SRL and Benitez did, totally different. Pac matches up well with guys like Duran so that would be an epic battle.

    I honestly can't think of a single thing that Castillo does better than Duran, or Chavez for that matter.

    Stop it! First Duran never fought Roger and Roger and PBF fight nothing a like Roger fought JCC that's who you're thinking of. PBF uses plenty of movement especially a prime PBF who could box off his back foot for a full 12 rounds if need be and didn't feel he needed to prove a point to and would fight his fight and not be drawn into a brawl.

    Pac will try to come at Duran which is fighting his fight. Duran by being more complete and being able to fight on the inside would get the best of Pac there. Great fight but I see Duran taking it.

    Disagree, Castillo almost/arguably did. It's style make fights, I don't think any boxer in history is unbeatable, there's a style/fighter in history that would counter his at some point.

    Floyd IMO is the greatest fighter at 130 lbs. He fought over half his career there and held around a 70% KO rate. I believe anyone can lose on any given night so I never to subscribe to the notion of an "unbeatable" fighter, but at his very best at 130 lbs, I wouldn't favor any fighter to beat him in the history of the sport. Some close matchups for sure, but from an odds standpoint I wouldn't make him an underdog to anyone at 130. That includes a Chavez Sr, Duran (who didn't campaign there for very long and was green at that division,) Azumah Nelson, etc.

    Not many ATG fighters campaigned at 130 lbs since it wasn't part of the original 8 weight classes but for those that did, I'd favor Mayweather. He's tall for SFW, carries an immense reach advantage at that weight class, has a good chin and good power in both hands.
