    Floyd only fought four fights at 135 and struggled some with Jose Luis Castillo. Duran, while remembered more for his bouts against all-time great at 147 and above was an absolute beast at 135. It would not be easy but I will take Duran by hard fought decision. Let's say nine rounds to six. (144-141)

    Duran was 4-9 in his big fights above 135. Mayweather was 16-0. With exhibit A being a shutout of JMM near shutout of Mosley.

    Duran had 4 15 round decisions and he went 2-2. Mayweather never went 15 but I don't think adding those 3 rounds would favor Duran beating Floyd 7 rounds is hard enough.

    Yes Floyd is smarter, that's literally what he is known for, I didn't say Duran wasn't smart but Duran is not known for his smarts as much as his brawling and heart. Just because Floyd dad give someone praise don't mean Floyd dad don't like Floyd SMH

    Yes, he KO'd cab drivers. Floyd KO'd world champions, 27to be exact, more than anyone, more than Mike. Read my damn comments before replying. SMH. I sweart Floyd haters have worse reading skills than Floyd himself judging by the amount of misconception everyone has due to everyone's unwillingness and inability to read. Read the damn comments and info and maybe you won't be so ignorant, and ya'll criticize Floyd's reading skills, how hypocritical SMH. If Floyd fought even half of Mike's competition he would KO everyone, 50 KO's 50 wins.

    Floyd fought a more aggressive, more smarter, and faster southpaw Duran named Manny Pacquiao while Floyd was older, you are delusional as hell if you think Floyd think Duran is hard work for Floyd, out of your damn mind. Castillo fight riskier for Floyd than Duran even, stay mad

    Floyd beat JLC twice, Floyd dog walked JLC, TWICE, so what the hell makes you think Floyd couldn't handle a sluggish, partygoer quitter like Duran? TF is wrong with Floyd haters these days, being a Floyd hater is one of the most delusional drugs one could take in their entire lives.

    In his time Duran was unbeatable but since Duran the lightweight division as evolved so much that I could probably name 5 modern boxers who could beat Duran in his time. Not saying Duran's competition was weak but it's just that the game has evolved so much.

    Bias, everyone uses that JLC fight as a mark on Floyd's career when they all forgot Floyd ****ed him up during the rematch, Floyd's rematches always go unnoticed like he ain't the greatets winner at all time. And where the hell did you get 4 fights at 135? Yes he ad 4 champion level fights but those 4 fights were enough to prove that Floyd is the BEST lightweight of all time.

IDC how many wins you got, 300-400, but if you only KO one world champion in those 400 fights you just a can crusher, FOH with that 27 KO's Those are quality KO's and more World Champs Pacfraud will ever KO

    I would say Bruseles or Hatton. Those weren't KO's but technical KO's, same thing.
