    Discussed by many (Analysts + Experts + Fans)

    15 round fight, 147

    In the earlier rounds, Duran's pressure and his godlike ability to fight on the insight would give Floyd a lot of trouble. Adding onto Duran's ability to cut off the ring, this alone would net him a few rounds (4-1) by the 5th

    Floyd is also a very good inside fighter (Evident from the Hatton fight), so let's not count him out in the inside game.

    Starting from the 5th, Floyd's footwork+ability to adapt will kick in and this is when his right hand leads will connect over and over again on Duran's face.

    Punishing Duran in the center of the ring with his flush right leads.

    Similar to the Hatton fight but we all know Duran is a much better fight. Duran will net some rounds but ultimately fall short and result in a UD decision to Mayweather.

    10-5 in the end for Mayweather.

    Seems like a personal issue. This is a good analysis.

    May would use his lateral movement to counter Duran with pull counters, I believe. Duran would come forward a lot and be aggressive (as that was the only thing he did stylistically), but he'd be met with check hooks. He'd miss thanks to Floyd's should roll/Philly Shell. On the inside, Mayweather would get the better of the work. People need to remember that May beat Chavez, Hatton, and some other guys in close. He's pretty much the best infighter ever, even if that isn't his primary style.

    Pac would have a tougher time, but Pac feasts on those come forward guys. It's not like Duran is Mosley or Bradley and can give lateral movement or even show real technical boxing skill. I'd say Pac gets hurt with some body punches, but finds a home for Manila ice and his straight left as Duran comes in with wide shots. Pac's more likely to stop Duran, but I think he'd win a 9-3 or 11-4 decision.

    Let me just add that I think Miguel Cotto would beat Duran too. He lost to Kirkland Laing and Laing isn't a HOFer like Cotto will be.

    That should give you an indication as to whether or not I'm taking the **** :D
