I feel it would have been a close bout, but Floyd certainly would have ducked Duran, the only good fighter Floyd fought in his prime was Corrales.
Floyd is not an all time great Welter. He was older and largely fighting other small men that also moved up. Floyd doesn't belong in the discussion with Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Thomas Hearns, Emile Griffith....etc. Pound for Pound...sure, but not at Welter.
True! I still see Floyd getting past him with his grit and his defense. It would be a damn good fight.
Pac would have been brutally KOEd by Duran look at what JMM did to him. LMFAO! Can you imagine a guy like Pac trying to go to war with Duran it would be a massacre.
No one mentioned Pac. You're obsessed. And besides, JMM is an ATG and one of the greatest counterpunchers of all time. The worst styles match up for Pac. Maidana, well, would be lucky to see the HOF.
We know why you're in this thread. You brought out no analysis just troll posts so I decided to troll the troll.
Maybe Duran should of used that technique against Tommy Hearns. Then he wouldn't have been sleeping on his face.
Leonard said he knew he'd ballooned up in weight post beating him and that's why he thought it an advantage to get him back in that ring ASAP.
Mayweather - far more accurate, granite chin, better boxer, lengthier. A nightmare matchup. May wins, possibly knockout!
When Duran got frustrated he had episodes of losing his game plan and just getting dirty and wild. I think Floyd would easily capitalize on that.
