    How would you see a Floyd Mayweather - Roberto Duran fight going?

    i think Durans pressure and skill level get him it but his jab has to be worked overtime to win i dont rate FMJ that high at LW but super high at SFW

    i ****ing love duran. read all the books about him, simply a living legend


    carlos eleta to a 15 yr old duran

    "roberto, do you want to fight for $25?"

    "who do i have to kill"

    he had his problems and bad points over the course of 20 yrs but when fit on his game with his mind set on doing what he had to do, there was NO ONE, NO ONE that could live with him from 135-147. had everything, inside work unreal, amazing jab, hands of stone, animal controlled rage.

    a force of nature

    Spot on:good

    At his best he was an absolute beast, a real nightmare of an opponent.

    I would have to plug for no.2.

    Duran had been beat by the guy (and suffered a kd in the process), and it was a fresher version of DeJesus that he fought.

    By the 3rd fight Duran had him just about worked out, and dare I say that DeJesus was a little shopworn by that time.

    i actually think the 3rd fight was one of Durans most complete performances
