Mayweather Jr wouldn't have the firepower to keep Duran off of him. Or any prime ATG welterweight and above. Sooner or later he would have to set...
Did he at welterweight? Doubtful. By the way the bigger, stronger , harder hitting,just as skilled, just as fast (If not Faster) R.Leonard was...
Correct. in fact , if I remember right , one of the boxing mags of the time ( Don't remember which) on the cover had Benitez, Leonard, Hearns...

I'm with you on that subject. Hell, I believe if he faced a fresher Deloyhoa or Mosley he losses. When he faced them their best fighting years...
Sometimes all that's necessary is confidence. Not the fake or bully type. Just knowing in your heart you've put in the hard work to be successful...
