2007 Floyd Mayweather Jr (DLH) vs 1983 Roberto Duran (Moore) | 154

One of my favorite Duran performances. He was firing on all cylinders enjoying himself. IMO he also brought a higher level of being nasty and mean in this fight. I got Duran here taking Floyd to school and then some. Duran by clean UD perhaps a stoppage

 

Floyd by close decision.

 

Duran

 

Duran.

I still maintain that Moore would have been a fine champion with a long reign if he hadn't run into Duran in Nasty Mode.

 

Floyd is at his best here. This isn't a green fighter with 12 fights. Duran was past his prime. Floyd UD. I'm not one who believes in comparing performances because every matchup presents different challenges. Duran dominated Moore because he had way more experience and Moore was super young. I don't think Duran at that stage of his career is beating a high level skilled boxer in their prime. A fighter has to be at their best to beat someone like Floyd.
