    The only welter in history who could beat Montreal Duran is maybe prime Ray Robinson. Duran in his prime was as close to perfection as there's ever been. Anybody who thinks Mayweather could beat that version of Duran is a complete ******.

    ahahahahha.
    I'm a delusional durán fan, so I will say yes :p

    EDIT: wow, I just realized I'm not the first delusional durán fan, we are legion hehehe. I've no shame to admit when I'm a delusional fan of a fighter. Durán, floyd, hagler, wlad, roy, rigo, morales,... just a few of them I'm so fan that I cant be objective.

    In 40+ years of being involved in Boxing, Duran is the most self aware Fighter I have seen. He totally understood, embraced and reacted to so many situations right in the heat of battle. Even the " No mas " was a cold headed decision. Same with the execution against Hearns. Win or lose, like or loathe, the guy absolutely understood fighting.

    That's a sad way of viewing life. Rather me make another one instead, thus making more "useless trash"? Didn't think so.
