Duran. Obviously. Mayweather doesn't even have a win as good as Buchanan, DeJesus or Ishimatsu, let alone Sugar Ray ****in Leonard.
Floyd was better at defense. Not in the ring, he defended that 0 on his record better than anyone by cherry picking opponents for a large chunk of his career. Duran was a force of nature, a beast in his prime. He was more concerned with fighting and beating the best opponents. It’s insulting to even compare these guys because Duran was a true champion.
Agree except Buchanan!! It took a double foul to stop Ken Buchanan. That punch Duran aimed deliberately at Buchanan's testes was way after the bell. Ref Johnny Lo Bianco claimed it was a fair punch afterwards not late at all LOL Then they showed him the replay. He Muttered I still say it was fair & walked away. He was also offered a visit to see Buchannan in hospital in agony with his swollen testes iced up. Duran refused to give him a rematch
I wonder how history is going to remember floyd? The obvious pick is Duran, but i wonder if attitudes toward floyd are going to become more or less favorable as time goes on?
which messed with his output. Duran had the blend of defense and offense..Floyd was safety, Duran would make you miss and punish you, Floyd you could count how many punches he'd land in a round. If they ever fought Floyd wouldnt be able to control the pace, hed be dragged in to Durans territory and lose a landslide, thats if he finishes the fight
