    Duran UD if we are taking the very best version of them at WW. Any other WW Duran would loose to a WW Floyd imo. I guess like with so many great vs great fights it all depends who brings their A game.

    Duran, and it'd be fairly one-sided.

    Mayweather neutralises Duran like Benitez did

    exactly!!:good Duran would be befuddled and following Floyd as Floyd lands counterpunches and moves to the side and resets.

    I use to think Duran had the most homoerotic fans. But Mayweather fans really love that slick black ****.

    In these match-ups you have to assume its the best versions of each at 147.

    In that case the Duran that beat Palomino & Leonard beats any WW version of Mayweather by some distance, I`d actually go as far as to say its disrespectful to Roberto Duran to pick Mayweather.

    Ps. you should have did a public poll aka where you can see who voted for who.

    That fight was at 154, Mayweather will be in vs a far better version at 147.... Duran all day long.

    Duran didn't fight an out an defensive counter punching boxer at 147 though. The Benitez version was only 18months removed from the Duran of the first Leonard fight


    Handspeed: Mayweather
    Footspeed: Mayweather
    Defence/Reactions: Mayweather
    Range/Height: Mayweather
    Stamina: Mayweather
    Timing: Even

    Is that disrespectful?

    Now i c how overrated Mayweather is , much more than i thought .
    i believe duran will win the poll eventually , but by a small margin .
    amazing .
    Leonard > Duran h2h , but Leonard started his career @ 147 and became a 154 , while Mayweather started @ 130 and became a full 147 only in recent years . Leonard was also taller , a bigger man all in all and a higher quality fighter as well . Leonard being able 2 do something does not imply mayweather could as well .

    As much as I despise Mayweather, honestly I have to go with this..and since I'm being brutally honest, if SRL had fought sensibly and like he fought in their No Mas rematch, he would have beaten Duran the first time they fought as well.
