    We have heard the case that Duran had it easy(pre SRL) at LW and under fighting easy competition... So tell me what 4 wins does Floyd have that are superior than Duran beating De Jesus 2x, Buchanan, and Marcel

    Not one. Mayweather Jr absolute best win where their were no hugh red flags about the opponent would be Corrales or Alvarez. The rest had major question Mark's. DeJesus in his prime was better than ANYONE Mayweather fought . ( Not saying he was overall better but damn near all of Mayweatherjr's "Name" opponents were well past prime or deep in the valley) and you left out Lampkin who was a helluva fighter, that like J.Quarry who had the ability to be a world champion. But he came along at the wrong time.

    Lampkin was good. Never the same after Duran. He is lucky he lived through that. So on paper his name is under rated because he never won the title. He got destroyed.
