    Imagine Benitez walking down Shane Mosley.

    Leonard wouldn’t have been able to clown a fit Duran who could cut the ring and had his number inside of a round.
    And If Leonard had tried those tactics in the first fight he’d have disgraced himself.
    The stars aligned for him with Duran coming in a shell of himself in the second fight and Ray being able to use the ‘I beat him with movement’ bs.
    Leonard barely won a clear round over little Duran in the fight that mattered.

    A faded Shane, who was nowhere near the guy who’d fought Oscar.

    Happy trolling.

    Mayweather wanted to renegotiate his rematch clause with Oscar. Oscar wasn’t having it so he “retired” for the life of the contract. lol at Mayweather “ducking” the rematch with Oscar. He knew Oscar was practically shot. Oscar’s fight with Forbes showed that. Mayweather threatened to fire his uncle for training Forbes to fight Oscar. “Messing with my money.” Was his complaint. As for Pacquiao, he was as much to blame for the delay as Mayweather. At 135 and 140, Mayweather fought just about anyone that would bring a decent purse. For detractors, whenever a fighter doesn’t fight someone when they think he should, that is “ducking “.

    Doesn’t change what I said.

    A shell of the guy from the late 90’s-early 00’s.
