    Duran would have knocked Void out, but Void would have refused to fight Duran.

    I think you guys are way off. First of all, to the guy who said I have never seen Duran fight, that statement couldn't of been further from the truth. I have seen ALL of Duran's important fights. He was slow, uncordinated, and a stupid fighter in that he lacked the ability to adjust and/or overall box smart. Sure, Duran hit like an ox, but that wouldn't make one bit of difference since he wouldn't touch Floyd the whole fight. Floyd is the greatest defensive fighter of all time, hands down. No fighter in history has fought the world class opposition Floyd has and taken less damage doing so. Floyd/Roberto would look a lot like Floyd/Carlos Baldomir did!

    **** you guys make me laugh

    Floyd at 135 was as good a puncher as there is at 135. Just because he didn't carry KO power to 147, people seem to forget who he was at 135.

    PBF all day would counter Duran, be too fast for him and too skilled - like SRL in "No Mas"

    I don't know jack **** about a sport that I have participated in since I was 8 years old? LOL, I know that if Floyd Mayweather Jr. was to fight Roberto Duran at lightweight Duran would hit thin air all night and get a circle boxed around him. I try to keep it respectful. I respect everybody's opinion. I told y'all I would be in the minority in my initial post. I just like to hear people's views on different fantasy mathups. So, for you to say that I don't know jack **** just shows that you don't know jack **** about me.

    Oh, now I get it. I don't know jack **** because I dare identify the mythical Roberto Duran (thats called sarcasim) as the one dimensional straight ahead fighter that he was? Was he great, yes. Was he better than Floyd is, no.

    And by the way, I think Pernell Whitaker would have beat Duran at 135 as well.
