Who you got? Duran described Floyd recently saying "He runs and I hunt" but the way I see it, Duran would never catch his prey and take too many right hands Floyd would be too slick and slippery for the slow footed Duran and wins unanimously
As unpopular as this will be i generally aggree the best Floyd, my unicorn version, beats the best Duran. Maybe two times out if three. His speed, athleticism, underrated pop pre problem hands and defense make him a fine matador for Roberto's bull. Close fights, exciting fights, but Floyd has this... Signature sign off for posts like this... I see your pigeons and raise you a cat... Peace and love always, Px
that's right. if he quit the leonard fight due to bolos and shuffles, you can imagine his frustration after 8 rds of not being able to land. I dont see him quitting but neither can he outscore a 50 - 0 elite. A better fight for him would be Pryor but here too he struggles
I'm going to assume this is at 135lbs and over 15 rounds. At that weight and those rounds Duran has a chance at the stoppage. This is the weight that Castillo beat.... er... lost a close and disputed decision to Floyd. I loved Castillo but he wasn't in the same zip code as Duran at 135. Duran was a master boxer, every bit as if not more masterful than Mayweather. People are talking like he's some Mexican come forward hooker willing to get 3 to land 1. I don't see this fight as being particularly close.
Duran isnnt the boxer Mayweather is. he was a brawler with some skill but with slow feet. he'd never catch up also, how come so many of his title fights went past 12??? Fernandez Ortiz Viruet Lampkin These are hardly hall of fame material. More like home grown, emergency title challengers, brand X Meanwhile, Floyd with his wins over 16 world champions including an 8 division champ. Duran at his best, would be hard pressed to lay a glove on Floyd at his best.
Duran would ALWAYS be two steps ahead of Duran, just like he was with Canelo Duran might do better against Crawford, but not by much
As the kids say, Tell me you don't know sht about boxing without saying you don't know sht about boxing.
Mayweather has a chance at SFW if Duran can get that low. At lightweight and welterweight a motivated Duran beats Mayweather. Duran would be motivated because Mayweather would have pissed him off in the build up to the fight. Interesting fight at 154.
That's very diplomatic but Montreal Duran beats any version of welter May that ever entered the ring.
what are you talking about. I SAW him quit in the Leonard match. He lost to Benitez. He couldnt even handle Kirkland Laing, another boxer. What do you think Floyd's going to do to him. whether it be 135 or 147, Floyd beats him. and there wouldnt be any controversy about it same thing with Oscar. I like Oscar but he' was never in the fight . He said he won. i had him 6 points behind
why, because you cant prove your case? You know the odds are against him. Lightweights throughout the 1970s were ordinary at best. even Dejesus, a GOOD but not great lightweight, had him beat. Sugar Ray Leonard, who stood toe to toe with him, came close in a losing effort. it seems unlikely Floyd would use a losing tactic and look at the results of the rematch. not very encouraging against a multiple title, 50 - 0 ATG.. Floyd even did better than Duran, moving up weight classes. so has Terence Crawford Floyd would never hurt him but he doesnt have to in order to win
