Duran has said the he has studied both fighters and he picks Manny to win. He cites that Floyd struggles with guys that Manny demolishes. He also said that some people can be fooled, but not him. I believe that the opinion of people in boxing is just that, an opinion, and not likely more accurate than the next guys, but it would be something if he was right. Another great fighter that picks Manny is Morales.
Sure. He also picked Ortiz, Canelo and Guerrero. He's biased and eager to see TBE lose. Another naysayer who will be disappointed come Sunday morning.
On Twitter I once asked Duran's son to ask Roberto who would win between himself and Manny in their prime and he said he would've KO'd him in 6 rounds. True story.
