Roberto Duran V PBF? who wins at 147lbs

take this thread as an honor to floyd , when you have to go back to the past and match him up with one of the greats says allot about floyd.

 

No way does Duran destroy Whitaker...he could beat him though in a close fight

 

Duran beats PBF .....Duran was way to aggressive for Floyd to run from

 

Wow, for a fighter to have an over 50% ko percentage and still be labelled a runner is amazing!

 

The only fights I've seen him run in were against Baldo (who's head is like a block of cement) and Del La Hoya (who grossly outweighed him). That's just 2 fights in this man's career.

Which fights are you thinking of?

 

I think Floyd can pull it off...but i dont doubt a Duran win either...all im saying is PBF is VERY skilled and how people can say he gets MURDERED is beyond me....Duran is a excellent aggressor probaly the best but PBF is the BEST at what he does right now....has been compared to Pea wether people like it or not and thats not saying he's better its just saying he is somewhere near that level.....PBF poses LOTS of problems for fighters...and if you eople say PBF is awesome at 130 then why make him fight at 147...just compare them where they are the best at...with that said...does Duran still MURDER or UD PBF...i dont think he would at 147 and i still dont think he would at floyds best weight....i also can see both outcomes possibly happening but PBF definitely can win this fight...i dont see him getting murdered.

 

PBF could hold his own - he wouldn't be murdered. I just think he would lose a UD.

 

nah man....PBF has all the same stuff except power and applying pressure...he is superior in over boxing skills, ring generalship, speed, footwork, accuracy, and even though he spends lots of time pot shotting...Floyd does throw a number of punches....i mean im not gone sit here and say Duran wouldnt win but i think he could lose too...i know people dont like Floyd for whatever personal reasons but TALENT and SKILL wise the man is an ATG.

 

what....man ring generalship is the same and boxing skills are the same...i refuse to say that man has better...Floyd has great ring generalship man...you gotta give this man credit...he avoids being put on the ropes...only time he is put on the ropes and stays is when he wants to...and BOXING skills better than floyds....man...forget it...its no point...i give credit to Duran....i still say Floyd beats this man...SD or UD depending on judges and it could easilly go vice versa.

 

man please...im a boxing fan...i have given both credit...i say Duran could win just as easily as he could lose...the fact is....there is nothing i could say to make you believe otherwise your mind is already set Duran cant be beat by this man....so its no point in going on. There were ample enough facts if you think about it to suggest Floyd could outpoint Duran based off his fighting style, his boxing skills, speed, footwork, and ring generalship, accuracy, and the fact that FLOYD is a great technician and student of the sport...he studies his fighters...prepares VERY WELL to negate their strengths....again like i said your mind is already set that he cant beat Duran so its no point in going on.

 

I agree with Sweet Pea: Duran was a more well-rounded fighter than Mayweather. Mayweather is quicker and more accurate, but Duran could box, was slick, put punches together, and was the best in fighter I have ever seen.

 

you do realize throughout the whole argument i do give Duran credit and say he could easily win just as floyd could to right? the fact is i give both figheters their just do....the fact that you dont give PBF is...shows its personal with you so imma let it be...you'll never give him the credit he deserves and in that case....you will always have him losing to Duran...and its nothing wrong wit it...your opinion and i have gave several facts as to why PBF could win as you have for Duran...so its dead..at least for me it is.

 

whats not well rounded about FLoyd in your opinion..just asking so i can see your point thats all. you probaly have a good argument but what knocks do you have on floyd BOXING wise?

 

or maybe its just POSSIBLE that the fight actually could go either way...good god man...i love neither i jsut respect both to know the fight is closer than what many are portraying.
