Am I the only one who thinks Mayweather Jr would school Roberto Duran @147?

    A lot would depend on the ref, a Kenny Bayless or Joe Cortez type could give a Floyd a shot. A not too pedantic ref and Duran is gonna rough that mofo up.

    Sure, no problem. But you have these people who act as though the fight is a whitewash in either direction. It's dumb.

    If Maidana could win 4 rounds with aggressive tactics, Duran could certainly win 7 rounds.
    At 135 Floyd could possibly win a decision if he fights a perfect fight.

    Even if you think he could beat Duran, "School" is far too strong a term.

    1980 Duran messes Mayweather up really bad. Those arms would fall by round 7, then the body attack to take it's toll by 9, and he's out spark cold between 11-13

    The same Floyd that ducked Khan and struggled with Maidana? Hmm...

    People act like Duran is Ricky Hatton.
    Duran would rough him up badly.

    Truth is Floyd would never fight him unless it was some drained messed up version of Duran with Kenny as his ref to yell stop everytime Duran wants to fight inside.

    Doesn’t matter if your hands are made of stone if you can’t connect with your opponent. 12 round shut out, thats if Duran doesn’t get sad and quit again

    If Mayweather boxes the way SRL did in fight 2, it's possible.

    Duran was a Kasparov of boxing only with the black air force energy of a honeybadger.
