    Yeah, he's no Ray Leonard, he's 5 times better than Ray Leonard and would KO Duran before the bell gets rung 8 times.

    There's not enough money in this world that would entice Mayweather Jr. Into a boxing ring against a prime Roberto Duran.
    Or any prime ATG within that weight range.
    If he did muster the courage to "accept the challenge to be great". By attempting to beat a great fighter in the prime of their career
    He'd lose a decision, or late stoppage, to Duran, and quite a few others honestly.
    Mayweather Jr.s defensive "genius " wouldn't look so great against an opponent that knows how to break it down, and has the physicality to match his.
    Unlike all of the past prime ATG's he gets so much credit for beating.

    That's how I know you delusional, can't KO anyone but KO the most world champions. It don't matter former or current, they still world champions and you massively undervalue the skill of a world champion, even a textbook champion had a 25-0 record back in the day, FOH with that pillow-hands bull**** let Mayweather punch you 2 times, matter of fact half-power punch from Mayweather can put your couch ass in a coma.

    Explain please what makes Mayweather FIVE TIMES better then a Ray Leonard?
    Was he faster? Did he hit harder? What attributes does he possess that make him 5X better then a Leonard?

    Five times his an overexaggeration and obvious rage bait SMH, I can't believe you fell for that, he's 10 TI- nah just kidding, but Mayweather is definitely a better opponent and competitor than Ray Leonard, and while IDK if Mayweather would KO Duran, IK a stoppage is possible and a win is ENTIRELY possible, Mayweather is one of the best winners in the sport of boxing. To answer your questions I do think Floyd has faster reflexes and very twitchy, Floyd as Pretty Boy was very twitchy and had lightning fast hands that reflexes could not dodge, hitting power I am also not sure how to measure but Floyd a better KO artist seeing as he has KO'd the most world champions and he's still underrated as a KO puncher due to his later days. I mean you don't break your hands without hitting hard.

    I have no idea what he is on, but I bet even Ozzy Osbourne doesn't want it.

    There is nothing Floyd did in his career that says he would even take this fight ...
    Does anyone in their right mind think Floyd could handle Duran in his grill for 15 rounds?
    Hell floyd couldnt even handle JLC in his grill for 12. And Duran is 2 levels up from jlc

    50-50 fight. Both have the styles to beat each other. Just depends on who is better that night.
