    :lol: No, don't get me wrong. I wasn't at all comparing Hatton to Duran.

    I was saying Floyd (in general) is able to do what Duran just said...


    Floyd did that to Hatton. Floyd has shown that ability which Duran is talking about.

    Ok homie thats cool. I dont invade the main forum all that much cause im not supposed to know anything about boxing but SRL had a great jab (in Montreal) too.


    Clearly....Duran...after Leonard I, only rose to the occasions when he had to.

    Bow to Duran.

    Thank you. Like War and Peace there has to be information to make it interesting. Duran had sharpness, but when he fought the elite guys they were the ones sharp and fast and he was the one who was not. He lost and made an excuse, and people bought it and gave him credit for beating Moore and Barkley. That is the Duran story summed up.

    Technically maybe Mayweather has an edge over Duran, but even these two were on the same era this fight would still be impossible to happen. Because we are talking about FLOYD. Still will always do every way to avoid real challenge.

    And Leonard could be quite easily the best scalp of those mentioned.

    I guess you are right he actually doesn't have anything to do with this since Duran is talking about fight the best boxer in the world. My bad bro it will not happen again.


    Although i do think he was fighting back in 2006 when Duran was talking about the Best boxer in the world!:good

    He was not ever mentioned in the same breath as Mayweather back then. Now you see where Mayweather is coming from when he say such and such all of a sudden became this Great fighter over night!!!


    This is why so many people in the boxing community thinks Manny is taking performance inhancing drugs. His performance has inhanced greatly since 2006!
