Monteral Roberto Duran vs Floyd mayweather 147 15 rounds

Agreed, maybe x4. But Floyd fought Castillo at 135 and Castillo was estimated to be 147 the night of the fight, outweighing Floyd by 10lbs. The fight is different than the Castillo fight if Floyd is 147.

 

Closest comparison for Floyd would be Cotto (Duran is Cotto x2). Benitez may be a closer comparison than Leonard for Duran, but that wasn't Montreal Duran. I'm not saying Floyd wins, but he's got a shot.

After last saturday , how is anyone gonna pick Floyd over Duran. Everything that Cotto did to Floyd , and Castillo did to a prime Floyd Duran can do x10.

 

That looks nothing like Greb or Armstrong.

 

because its a fantasy fight.

nobody is right and nobody is wrong.

 

Because a 35 year old Mayweather has nothing to do with how he would do younger, and at a lower weight.

 

If he's outweighed by 10lbs as he was in both fights. Also he still beat Cotto convincingly.

 

It clearly has something to do with it, he's not a different fighter altogether. It's not just Cotto, it was Castillo, Augustus, and Chavez as well.

Floyd does not have the mobility to escape someone as relentless and precise with their pressure-fighting footwork and aggressive counter-punching as Duran is. This means that the fight will inevitable end up on the inside. Who is the superior craftsman on the inside? Roberto Duran.

 

will he even fight him without asking for blood test in between rounds?

Do I need to remind everybody that Duran is not a midget.

 

I agree Duran would win, but Chavez did not give Floyd trouble at all.

 

PuttingJesus Chavez and roberto duran in one paragraph is a sacrilege. Jesus Chaves never beat anyone worth mentioning. His 35-1 record is deceiving because most of those were taxicab drivers.

 

I know that. That's why I think Duran would win. I was just pointing out that Chavez didn't give Floyd trouble.

 

A disciplined Duran (i.e. not a fat pig) schools SRL twice. That's the truth.

 

I disagree, his high volume and physical nature was pushing Floyd more than the usual. Not one of his biggest challenges ever, but indicative of a slight stylistic weakness IMO.
