Floyd V Leonard\Hagler\Hearns\Duran

Fantasist :deal

Are you calling Iran 'The Blade' Barkley a 'D' level fighter? The very man who KO'd Hearns in 3 & beat him again 4 years later for Hearns Light/heavyweight title, the very Title that Hearns took off the universally recognised undisputed light/heavy king in Virgil Hill & Barkley battered Hearns next time out.

Duran at 37 beats the Barkley that had just KO'd Hearns to become the one & only ever Liniel Lightweight champion to win the liniel middleweight crown.

No one beats Duran at 135, especially someone that struggled twice with Castillo:deal

YDKSAB:deal

 

Duran may have won the "liniel" middleweight championship but he never won the lineal middleweight championship. Barkley and Hearns never held that title at 160.

 

i said 3 of them were shot to **** and couldnt beat anyone above D level.

duran outlasted them. but for god sakes, Barkley was NOT a great fighter. he was a decent fighter with some power and a terrible chin after a few rounds

 

Absolutely mate:yep

I respect Floyd for being able to market himself the way he has done, it's all self made & at the end of the day it's a business, these are prize fighters, who gets the cash, Promoters or the fighters, Floyds worked in well, As Joseph Gorbals said, when you sell the public a lie, make sure it's a big one & keep repeating it & repeating it , until eventually it's believed in the minds of the masses.

From a sporting competition perspective, Floyd is not the real deal at 147, it's all about maneuvering yourself into position to suck on the HBO/Showtime tit & suck for as long as you can. Floyd got himself into position for his shot at the resident cash cow in DLH, scrapped past him & intends to stay there, duck/dodge/weave away from all clear & present dangers, (Retire/Vacation/Health/Blood tests/Promotors/Gloves, just survive & keep on sucking those PPV $$$$, he's done a fine job for himself $$$$ wise.

Floyd HBO/Showtime, remind me of that 80's movie....ROLLERBALL, big corporation's now running the show. You are fed what you are given.

 

Barkley had a terrible chin? Hearns battered him & he stayed upright & KO'd Tommy!

 

What you talking about?

 

He wouldn't fight any of them if they were around, He wouldn't fight Paul Williams he ain't fighting Hearns, he wouldn't fight Pacquiao he isn't fighting Duran, he isn't going to MW to fight Haler when he won't fight GGG and Leonard he won't fight him either. Do you honestly think Floyd gets in the ring with any of these 4 mean in their prime. If he does he gets stopped by all 4 Hearn way to big strong powerful, Leonard a bigger better version of Floyd, Duran a beast version of Maidana who he struggled with and Hagler lol stopped in about 3 rounds.

 

Duran never was the lineal middleweight champ. Look it up.

 

Why is Duran being so underrated, you'd swear it was easy to outbox him, why would Floyd outbox Duran when he can barley outbox Maidana, Duran is the greatest LW ever and was so good he could go up and win a title at MW and also beat ATG WW SRL but somehow Floyd outboxes him? Duran batters Floyd nightmare style basically the best possible version of the style Floyd has struggled with worst if Castillo can win in many people's eyes Maidana can get a draw on my card then no way in hell does Duran not beat Floyd.

 

I'm big Floyd fan all 4 would beat him, Hearns and Hagler would stop him.

 

I haven't seen the fight yet, but I said on another thread that Maidana might give Mayweather trouble with his wild style. I agree with you, the fact that he did makes you wonder what skilled pressure fighters like Duran would do to Floyd.

 

in their prime they all destroy floyd in his prime, but they were all bigger in their prime than floyd, except for duran, whose prime lasted 20 years or so. the ironic thing is duran took much much less care of himself between fights than all the others. but he was just an absolute brute. bad for floyds health.

 

No you go & explain it on here for all of us to see!

 

Leonard retired after beating Hagler and the lineal title was vacant until it was awarded to Michael Nunn. Hearns and Barkley never held the lineal title at 160.

 

YDKSAB

That's why I wanted you to expose yerself on here, I knew you'd pick Michael Nunn for the inferior belt of the 3 as in IBF & to compound your thickness, NUNN won his IBF belt in July 88 & Hearns beat Roldan for the proper belt (WBC) in October 87 & lost it to Barkley in June 88, even before Nunn fought Frank tate for the IBF strap, you useless no fcukall *****.

Lineal WBC is this: HAGLER/HEARNS/BARKLEY/DURAN, although SRL should get a mention here seeing he beat Hagler for the IBF belt, you are just splitting hairs on here in a vain attempt to get some respect from your peer's seeing you hav'nt got a clue about much else & even this Lineal subject leaves you looking like a clown.
