    Might as well put this definition beside Floyd’s name in history books. Sums his career up perfectly edit: Not so much the who ducked who Pac-Man debate but as far as quality of opponents

    Easier said than done. Everybody thought they could do the same in training camp then got schooled.

    I think Duran could give Floyd trouble and vice versa. Duran struggled against slicksters, but Floyd did have problems with fighters a lot more crude that Duran. Maidana gave him big problems and so did Castillo. Floyd was past it against Maidana but Duran is much better than Maidana. Hard to say.

    I agree, JLC and Chino did give Floyd issues in the first fights. The rematches were different. Not making excuses for Floyd as to his performances in the first fights, but I honestly believe he under estimated those guys for whatever reason. I say only a fool would under estimate a prime Duran. Floyd may be many things, he may even be a fool outside the ring, but once he steps between those ropes, his real boxing genius shines. He would not have taken a prime Duran litely. I can't say who wins between them. Both prime versions of these guys on their best days have enough to beat anyone.

    Dude Maidana outweighed him by close to 20 lbs, I mean I understand the general idea but Duran isn’t coming in that heavy.

    Even in the rematches, Catillo won 5 rounds and Maidana won 4 or 5 rounds. Check the scorecards. To think Duran would lose to Mayweather is unrealistic at best.
