Floyd Mayweather vs Roberto Duran at 135 pounds 15 rounds

Everybody downplays Floyd's opponents once Floyd fights them, you never downplayed Manny's leaky defense when he fought Marquez who is known for being a great counterpuncher, you only say Manny has this errors and **** when he fights Floyd. No Pacquiao is not suscepitble to counter punching, people even said Manny even countered Floyd than Floyd countered him, so ya'll have that duality double standards in ya'll. Pernell, Tank has a slight chance at being him, I give tank a 40% chance of beating him. Lomachenko run circles around him, De La Hoya is bigger than Duran, and JMM has a 38% chance of beating Duran. The modern era is just too advanced, sorry. You only say these things when these guys fight Floyd. Castillo literally had to hug Floyd a lot just to get like a few points on him. I guarantee you if Floyd fought Duran you would say these same things, Duran doesn't have infighting, Duran is susceptible to counters, you would say the same things, yes you would because every one of Floyd's haters said the same thing, 50 times, I'm not falling for the same trick LMFAO.

 

Tell me,what did the modern era advance better than the classic?

 

JCC Snr, Mosley and Trinidad have a shot mostly JCC doe.

 

And asides from some brave exceptions from the early 2000s era,modern fighters don't like em tuff competitions, seriously.

Tank fought way less often than Duran back then,which may have contributed to him being less sharp vs Roach.

Crawford too,fought once a year and disappear...


Truth is,yeah,boxing did evolve,but there are some exceptions like Duran and the other 4 kings.(Including Benitez),all five had the same distance judging,defense and great offence and counterpunching like the modern fighters.

 

Who's the nerd?

People know what I'm talking about when I use that as a descriptor for his defensive style.

Nerd response - it’s truly known by those in the know only as the Mendoza Carapace but graze away ruminating cattle blood.

 

Floyd is sharp and consistent, and best of the best conditioning, but catch Duran on the wrong night and he’s up against a force of nature. I would not have the guts to bet against 4th king, the hard part is whether by beatdown or UD

 

*SMH. That's how time works, as time advances technology and medicine advances, more innovations in boxing, more tactics, more technicalities, that's just how it works. If a 70's boxers saw someone from 2050 box, they would think he is an alien, that's just how time works bruh. Yeah sure people now fight less but that's because they get paid a lot. If you pay Roberto Duran or SRL that much money they prolly fight less, hell SRL doesn't even fight a lot even in that rugged golden era and he's regarded as the best of the 4 kings LMFAO.

 

You really said Duran has good distance management, dude has worst distance management than a Karen during May of COVID. There is no exception to time bro, yes they were good for a time but it seems like you are just a victim of nostalgia. I assure you 3 boxers in 2075 could easily KO Floyd due to how freakin' advanced people will be in like 60+ years. in 60+ years boxers could probably hit people with their eyes closed, that's just how it is, no one's an exception. The greats of the modern era are better than the greats of the best, but the greats of the past might be able to fight the bums of the modern era. Just how it is.

 

They were great for their time, as Muhammad Ali once said, but you can't compare a nice prop plane to a full fledged boeing travel flight.

 

Some surprising results might happen considering how much modern 147s manage to weight drain compared to 45 years ago.

 

It really is surprising. Fighters of the past aren't that eager to go against weight bullies. Modern fighters despite all their risks and 0 keeping, DGAF about the conditions, they just want the money LOL, that's at least something.

 

Those are also good shoutouts, though I would give them low chances but still decent chances.

 

Aren't that eager? Didn't back then Ezzard fought Louis in like,a good amount of weight handicap?

Look,I understand your point before and I do kind of intend to close the debate,but how?

 

However, IK for a fact none of those guys could beat Floyd on their best days.

Yes, but, that's not weight bullying. Joe Louis was just at that weigiht LOL
