Mayweather v Duran

Double like

And Duran was the most ambidextrous fighter I can think of (in a sport where you have to train in some ambidexterity). Gifted, really. Superb fighting spirit (you either have it or you don't). Confidence and self-belief off the charts.

Who said Duran had few skills and was just a brawler? That's not right at all.

 

They also said he had slow feet.

And fast feet, unlike that one guy that said Duran had slow feet. What a joke- Duran had feet like a roadrunner.. if he hurt an opponent, he was on it like white on rice.. lickety split..

 

I saw this after I wrote my previous post. Cheers..

 

This is ridiculous. Man beat a ton of great fighters. Opposite of recency bias.

 

I don’t think Delahoya landed one clean shot the whole fight. He was aggressive but ineffective at all times. Dead serious wasn’t close.

 

As much as I hate so say this, it is a 50-50 fight.

If Duran catches Gayweather, it is over.

But Floyd has a very decent chance of pulling a Sugar and frustrate Duran.

 

More than actually beating Duran, the best Floyd would frustrate and harass him, running away with the win the very same way Sugar did.

 

Duran would be all over Floyd ,it would be like the Mayweather v Maidana fight, but more intense.

 

He beat no prime ATG’s.

 

He wasn’t at all ineffective.

They were about level after 9 rounds.

Floyd pulled clear in the final few rounds.

I never agreed with the split, as I know that Floyd won.

But it was a hard fight for him.

Oscar’s jab bothered him.

And that was an end of career Oscar, who’d only fought once in 3 years.

There’s a reason why Floyd didn’t cash in that rematch cheque.

 

Ray clowned and mocked Duran.

Floyd would not have done that.

It was also a version of Duran who’d been rushed back.

A prime vs prime fight, would have been the Montreal Duran, fit and motivated.

After watching both of their careers, it’s unlikely that Floyd would even have signed up for the fight.
