    Threads like this are just speculation. Most believed Tyson would beat Douglas but, most were wrong (for whatever reason). We will never know the real answer but, we can try to make an educated guess.

    How can you be so sure that Mayweather will be smarter than Leonard in dealing with Duran. Mayweather didn't show that in his first fight castillo. Duran is a different beast and knows how to rough people up so much so that they couldn't stick to their normal game plan.

    Please, just stop.

    Floyd has never fought anyone of Durans calibur and you know it.

    in my noob opinion i think this would be a bit closer than most people think of course we all have an opinion so your going to get diffrent ones. Anyways I would give Duran the edge because of his overall game but I wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather won a decision either, There has been definitly bigger upsets than this would be. I mean who thought Douglas would beat Tyson, Norton over Ali, etc etc. I would have Mayweather as something like a 3 to 1 underdog. One thing about Mayweather is he comes completely prepared with a masterful gameplan every time he fights, he would need one to beat Duran but its do able

    I don't think anyone is dumb enough to even consider Mayweather being an easy night for Duran.

    Thats the wonderful thing about boxing.... There's always the possibility. It would definitly be nice to watch duran make Mayweather exchange from time to time, Mayweather and SRL would also be a great thing to watch (maybe a little more boring) but it would be the sweet science to the highest extent :happy

    Indeed. His analysis is fairly good for 15 years old.

    Mayweather too skilled for Duran? No one was to skilled for Duran.

    Durans lifestyle would catch up to him against Floyd? Based on what, Floyds notorious aggression in the ring?

    Duran less heart than Floyd? Duran fought ten times the level of competition that Floyd did.

    Im sorry but Floyd could never hurt Duran. Duran was Floyds worst nightmare, the complete package and relentless. Top notch defense, 15 round varied attack, never ending preasure, and the mentality of a calculating but crazed animal.

    Hell even Prescott said it himself, Floyd has no business in this one.

    Floyd was very much hurt going into the fight, and got hurt during the fight, and guess what....he still won. You do remember that they fought again, and an uninjured Floyd made easy work of it! The 1st fight had nothing to do w/smarts:nono Floyd's comfortable in his skin inside the ring, and doesn't feel the need to prove something that can potentially set himself up for failure as SRL did in there 1st fight!!

    That's why I'm so sure!!
