    I don't think Floyd can do anything to equal this amazing win by Duran. I'd say possibly if he beats Charlo at 154.

    For starters, he shouldn't have ducked so many fighters. However, it's too late now. He's a never was at this point in his post-career endeavors.

    Avoid randomly quitting to his greatest ring rival when he was fine. Oh, wait-he DID avoid doing that. Neeeeevermind. $>Duran.

    Duran is much greater than Floyd and everyone in Floyd's era

    I wouldn't pick Floyd to beat anyone in the top 5 at 154 or anyone in the top 10 at WW at this point. I'm deadass too

    Floyd is as close to Ray Leonard and Duran as I am to Australia

    Pbf was the best fighter of his era he can't equal him but it's not like they're world's apart either.

    I agree his legs look shot to bits which was big part of his game

    A win over a prime Jake ''Money'' Paul to add to his one over a prime Sugar ''Money'' Mac would easily be enough to catapult him right to the top of the pack for me.

    Duran reached what 82-1 at lightweight during a pretty stacked era. Beat Buchanan, Dejesus, Kobaushi, lampkin, and host of other guys I can’t think of off top of my head. Then moved up and beat prime Leonard, at this point he’s beyond Floyd. Throw in Barkley at middle, the Moore bout, and just being competitive in his 40s it’s not close. I’ll take the competition Duran beat to get to 82-1 over what Floyd beat to get to 49-0 (I don’t count Mcgregor)
