Myth: Roberto Duran has a better resume than Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Leonard and Laing are nothing like the other 2, or like each other.

 

There is a thread of continuity there.

He was fighting the most dangerous opponents available when they were at their most dangerous.

Not picking them off when they were young, or waiting for them to get old.

 

I would agree to that.

But I don't know about several.

Who have you got in mind?


However, even if we can agree on this, he doesn't have anybody on the level of the other 2 versions of Leonard who Duran fought, as well as the versions of Hagler and Hearns who Duran fought. Duran fought absolute prime versions of those guys.


Benitez would also be interesting.

 

If I was a little sharper?

It is you who has no knowledge of the situation.


Read carefully:

NOBODY has said that Floyd took steroids after the weigh-in.


Floyd took an IV.

Now both the amount that he'd taken, as well as in the timeframe which it was taken in, is prohibited by both WADA and VADA.

Why?

Because IVs of that magnitude have been used as a masking agent to flush out a cycle of PEDS which have already been administered beforehand.

Also, IVs of that magnitude have to be taken in a medical facility, and administered by a medical professional.

The athletes also have to first notify the commission, before then receiving their permission in order for them to be granted.


Here's the 2 things to look at:

1. Floyd was not dehydrated to the point of needing that IV. (Nobody knowledgeable of his career is buying that)

2. Even if it had have been 100% legit, he broke the rules set by WADA, VADA and the NSAC, as he took the IV in his home, and secretly, without notifying anyone.


All the information above is factual which can be backed up.

Now you need to acquaint yourself with those facts.

Because the fact that you think that I'm claiming that he took steroids after the weigh-in, tells us all that you don't understand what happened.

 

over 600 pages, man. Duran was a real fighter. Guy had over 100 fights, fought everybody. Floyd was more of a business man who was clever in matchmaking . Duran is the greater fighter.

 

He did need a TUE though.

This is the issue, and why everything was such a mess.

The whole relationship with USADA wasn’t above board.

Nobody knows how many IVs he had, and at what point.

But after USADA had gone to his home and found evidence of an IV, Floyd and his team admitted that they had been administered. And it was at that point, that both Floyd and USADA needed to cover themselves officially.

So that’s what happened. A TUE was applied for, and a waiver was granted. But not until after the fight had taken place.

It was then presented to the NSAC.

So: 3 weeks after the fight, the NSAC was informed that Floyd had taken an IV on the 1st of May, and that an application and an exemption had been granted as of yesterday.

So how bad does that sound?

How bad does that look?

Both Floyd and USADA knew of the IV after the weigh-in, yet the NSAC only became aware of it 3 weeks later.

Yet you still want to believe that everything was legit and nothing was amiss.

Open your eyes.

The whole thing was a joke.

 

The Norris fight was 2 years later.

Yes, both Leonard and Duran were faded in 1989.

What about the other versions of Leonard, and the versions of Hearns and Hagler who Duran had fought?

You can’t find any of Floyd’s opponents who can match those.

 

What are you talking about?

Are you even reading the posts?


Every piece of information points to Floyd having taken PEDS.


So let’s be clear:

I 100% believe that he took PEDS.


However, the IV wasn’t used to take PEDS.

The IV was taken to mask the PEDS that he’d taken beforehand.


I hope that this clears up any misunderstanding.


No, Floyd did not rehydrate with an illegal IV taken in secret.

Don’t be ridiculous.

 

sounds like bs to me.

floyd hasn't beat an opponent with physical size or unreasonable stamina since..........

 

I think that Duran defeated men more dangerous than the version of Canelo Alvarez that Mayweather defeated.
