    I think we can all agree Hagler, Hearns and SRL would kill Mayweather, but what about Duran?

    (lets assume Floyd wasnt allowed to duck him)

    You think Floyd could and would do a Leonard 2/Pacweather and get on his hobbyhorse to coast to an easy decision or even a No Mas? :think

    I'd favor Duran against anyone south of 168 currently, including Floyd, Golovkin, Canelo, Cotto, etc.

    Jose Luis castillo beat Floyd.
    Oscar De La Hoya lost by close SD.
    Marcos Maidana pushed Floyd's feces in.

    I'm supposed to believe Mayweather who never fought a prime ATG or elite is supposed to beat Duran? :lol: :verysad

    I see Duran manhandling Mayweather the way JL Castillo, Jesus Chavez, and Marcos Maidana did.

    Those are three tough, agressive fighters who put a beating on Floyd. It is common knowledge Duran is about 100X the fighters those guys are.

    There's no way Floyd keeps Duran off of him for 12 rds.

    Duran wins this one easy.

    Styles. Floyd's a master of the strategy Leonard applied so well in fight 2

    He deserves a humungous amount of ridicule, but Floyd could and would frustrate the HELL out of the Irishman

    Whatever next? Who wins out of Charlie Zelenoff vs prime Sonny Liston?

    Duran would paddle Floyd's ass all over town now for goodness sake. :patsch

    You mean the same Duran who struggled with guys who used movement?
    The same Duran who quit and is forever known as No Mas
    Duran's reach disadvantage would be huge in this fight and his undoing PBF knows how to fight tall and has the reflex advantage to get off first. Duran is no boxing God he lost to much lesser fighters than PBF and PBF matches up very well with Duran.

    Styles make fights so your comparison that "Duran lost to much worse fighters than PBF" is a little silly.

    You think JL Castillo was a hard fight for Floyd at lightweight? Duran would be 2x as difficult whether it was 135 or 147. Just my opinion.

    Floyd is not a natural welter, neither is Duran. Their optimal weight for a fight would be around 130-140, no? Duran owns that lightweight to jr welter zone historically speaking, in my opinion.

    Duran 100%

    Mayweather can't deal with Maidana, let's not talk about Duran.

    Duran is no boxing God? He's in Floyd's top 5. Pimp, whats up man? Duran is top 5 all time, in almost everyone's unbiased list.
