Duran Would Massacre Floyd... 100%

no it wouldnt be.....not saying duran couldnt win bc he could and so could floyd....everyone overrates duran bc hes retired now...when floyd retires the same will happen to him

 

Bill Ive notcied you always bring up certain fights, and say who would win when comparing a fighters performance in one particular fight, rather than looking at the broader picture. Like "The Hopkins that fought Trinidad, against the Robinson who fought LaMotta". Your better gelling the styles together. Mayweather wouldn't stand and fight Duran, so the Duran who came into the ring against Leonard in Montreal would probably have to deal with more movement. Leonard never fought a smart tactical fight, and Mayweather would at least try to employ a hit and move strategy.

I still see Duran stopping Mayweather late, but he'd find Mayweather could give him a decent run for his money.

 

The Duran of his Lightweight Championship days shouldn't be confused with the Durans of any other time or weight class afterwards. In his reign as lightweight champion, Duran was a "lower case Jack Dempsey". He would have hunted down and overwhelmed Floyd at lightweight. Duran fought with such a fury, like an animal, and could pick up the tempo of a fight, and his ferocity in a flash, at any time, quite unlike anything Floyd has ever had to deal with. At that weight Duran was perfect, unlike all later weights, and he would be too much fire, fury and macho for Mayweather.

 

I don't know if he would massacre Floyd Mayweather, but I definitely believe he would give Floyd a beating.

 

wake up call for everyone.......mayweather is, as much as u or i dont like him a great fighter. duran would not massacre him nor would anyone else. duran may win but nobody dominates floyd.

ps duran is capable of losing too.

 

I have a lot of respect for Duran but whenever anyone brings up how strong his chin was, I just keep thinking big right by Hearns. I know
Hearns punched like a mother, but I've seen guys on rare occasion, handle shots like that. One of Duran's biggest accomplishments to me is that he came back after that fight and became champ again. Most guys would have never recovered from that KO

 

I don't think Roberto massacres PBF at any weight. However, I think he beats him up pretty bad at both 135 and 147. Floyd would have his moments, but I think Duran wins at least 2 out of 3 at 147, and wins everytime out at 135.

Boo

 

Floyd gets a fast start but Duran catches up and weard Floyd down for a tko 11

 

Duran survived fifteen rounds with Hagler, took huge shots from Iran Barkley, starched Pipino Cuevas in four and even Leonard had more pop than Floyd.

The biggest factor in this match for me would be that Floyd cannot hurt Duran with anything short of a flurry of furious punches, which is not Mayweathers usual style. A lead right hand would do little.

Duran is not the kind of man to let such an advantage go by. Mayweather could give him a run for his money as far as conditioning goes, but Duran would take his heart.

 

This shows a severe lack of boxing knowledge. You don't just walkthrough Mayweathers flush single shots and if you try you lose. Mayweathers power is enough to keep Duran honest if nothing else.

BTW Durans power is vastly overrated. A great boxer, great defense, timing, technique, pressure and skill with good power.

 

You don't think Duran could do it, after Castillo could?

 

Duran does beat Mayweather, thats my belief. But he doesn't walk through him or 'massacre' him. No way, Mayweather's pretty durable and that coupled with his great defence would see him through the distance. He would definently have his moments but in the end Duran wins.

 

This fight is no massacre at all.
