Durans reign at lightwight and the montreal win alone outrank anything mayweatehr has ever done, dont get me wrong I get why people favour mayweather at 147 but that wasnt durans best weight either.
Everything he did after montreal was just bonus. you cant say ali was a lesser heavy then marciano just because he had more losses. Durans wins over opposition are much more impressive then floyds, Floyds good wins were corrales, castillo (he lost), oscar was a good win, mosley was 38, hatton was a 140 guy at 147, judah was a good win,marquez doesnt even count man.
Lets say duran retires after leonard 3 when he was 85-8-0 against that opposition way out of his ideal weightclass.and 38 years old. How is that not impressive? he isd either 1/2 of the last 30 years depending if you rank leonard above him.

now you start too change my mind a bit, good remarks :good

accomplishment aside.

final question:

the best I have seen floyd was vs gatti at 139, 139 a weight duran was very comfartable too. so, would floyd have handled the pressure and power of duran and would duran have handled floyd's frustraing style & fast running feet ?
