    Picking first round Ko's is just what bladerunner does.

    Duran beats him. He ain't the raw slugger some ppl make him out to be.

    In his prime, he had footwork, power, defense, ability to cut off the ring, a strong body attack, and stamina to fight hard all nite long.

    May ain't got nothin to really threaten him with. Duran might not KO him, but he definitely wins. May would have to stand and fight more than he'd want to, and he lacks the power to keep Duran from swarmin him.

    Floyds shoulder roll would be ineffective against Duran his arms and his shoulders would get pulverised by hands of stone, at light weight Duran wins by murder

    I give Floyd more of a chance at 135 but I would still give the edge to Duran at both 135 and 147. Floyd doesn't hit hard enough.

    Lightweight Duran walks right thru Floyd. Can't see how Floyd could hurt Duran enough to back him off. Laying on the ropes against Duran would be suicide. Duran by UD

    :lol::lol: Just cause Leonard frustrated Duran doesnt mean Floyd would he's no Sugar Ray and Duran would walk through Floyd's punches all night and would destroy the body of Mayweather.

    A 140 and above, Floyd has been cornered by lesser fighters and isn't one to move laterally, which is what gave Duran problems as he moved up. Therefore, the fight would inevitably end up on the inside, and Duran is the far superior operator there.

    At 135, Floyd was much more mobile and more aggressive with his quick combinations, but his guard wasn't what it is today and he'd be giving Duran more opportunities to counter-punch his way onto the inside. Again, if he'd been cornered by Augustus and Jesus Chavez and Castillo for extended periods of time, Duran would do the same, and again, would be the superior operator on the inside.

    At 154 Floyd can beat him, but it's winnable for Duran as well.
