    on Floyd Mayweather Jr.:

    "If he fought during my era he would just another guy in the bunch"

    Another sore legend. Duran is now 500 pounds and has no money. I'd be like that too if I was him.

    Duran should be the most silent, humble fighter on earth...with his quitting as.s.

    He was also quick with the excuses.

    if floyd mayweather fought in durans era he would not be undefeated. that is for sure! he would have made the era even more interesting but he wouldn't have dominated.

    Hearns and Leonard murder floyd

    No doubt in my mind

    100% Leonard and hearns beat floyd

    I think he'd beat Duran, but it would be a war and Duran would make it nasty

    Also, Duran is ahead of floyd and the other guys in the atg list, because of his résumé

    No money? There's a movie coming out about him, you don't think he made anything off that.

    Pretty silly comment.

    Mayweather imo would beat Duran, even the "Montreal" Duran.

    Mayweather would be 50/50 with Leonard but he loses to Hearns. But there is no way Mayweather would be just another fighter even at that era.

    One thing I can say with certainly is if Duran was around today win, lose or draw, he'd be fighting both Pac and Mayweather.

    I think he'd be in the mix but I don't think he'd be included in the fab 4.

    This is undisputable. Every ATG list I've seen has Duran no worse than top 10 and he's usually between top 5-10. Problem is people on this site have only seen Mayweather and they cant comprehend that he's beatable. Not sure why when you look at his so-so comp.

    Yep. :good

    But really, is it any surprise Duran would say what he said? I'd be shocked if Duran said anything else.
