Mayweather was raw then and what about Duran vs Benitez, Duran actually lost that fight, Castillo vs Mayweather was close and Mayweather put things right in the rematch, Benitez was a poor mans Mayweather, a slick boxer, that was good, but nowhere near as good as mayweather, as much as he is a dick, he is 50-0 for a reason, he is in my opinion the best p4p boxer of all time, he was able to adapt to every style he ever faced and completely neutrelise their skill, most noteably Canelo Alvarez, he's p4p no1 at the moment and he's beat everyone since and looks very much unbeatable to everyone in his weight classes and Mayweather just absolutley schooled him, I personally thing Duran would walk on to Mayweather shots all night and if he wanted to box that would suit Mayweather even more Duran only has a punchers chance in my opinion, people don't like to say Mayweather because they don't want to disrespect the old fighters, but Duran was a dick too, he once knocked out a horse and a woman in the same night
Broner doesn't throw enough. He doesn't counter enough. He doesn't punch with his opponent enough. Broner looks great against guys that allow him to lead and dictate pace. Once he got in there with a man that didn't follow the script, he got beat up. Duran would destroy Broner. 12 rounds of beat down. Duran is on the Mt. Rushmore of boxing greats. Broner is just a pebble on the bottom of that mountain, that gets stuck in the shoes of onlookers.
Your an idiot dude how many bad fights did Duran have losing and or lost to somebody he shouldn't but let's point out Floyd's worse performances and lets ignore durans half ass training quitting in the ring etc etc Duran was hell of undisciplined that's like saying oh James toney kills everybody if he bothered to be in shape all the time wtf duran wasn't always in shape you cant just ignore whatever you want out of debates
You're an idiot, dude.* C'mon, if you're gonna insult my intelligence, at least do it in an intellectual manner. It's not like grammar's hard to learn. You realise that Durán at his peak was always in shape? Always ready for a fight? Beat everyone he fought? How about you watch that fight? It was NOT a bad performance, it was an awful style match up. Someone who's style is very similar to Durán's but isn't a 100th of the fighter. I didn't even have Mayweather losing, I had it 114-112 for PBF. What the **** does this have to do with anything? Uhm... you can? Duran AT HIS BEST was very consistent. He lost twice in 75 fights and still beat the two people who beat him. One of whom, would beat Mayweather as well.
