    *****s! :lol:

    Tell me again which ATG did floyd fought in his prime or near to it? if floyd ducked every prime fighter that is a threat, what do you think is his excuse for avoiding duran? he is not a draw? PEDs? vacation?

    The only reason Duran won. Was Leonard fighting Duran's fight. Fact.

    The one thing Mayweather isn't going to do, even if Leonard is far superior to Mayweather. Is fight someone else's fight.

    If your picking this fight on the logic that Mayweather will stand and trade with Duran. Your logic is flawed.

    Like I said we can go on forever debating about this, the fact of the matter is, the out come of a fight like this is a matter of opinion, and Floyd skill level, adaptability and consistency, from what I can see is better then Durans was. So my money would go on the dude who finds a way to win every time he goes out.

    it's not flawed at all because you're assuming SRL had a choice in how to fight in the first fight. I don't think he did. If you want to focus on facts focus on the type of pressure Duran would put on Mayweather, fact is it's something he'd never had to deal with before. That's your fact. And Duran's defense is way underrated, he's a master and staying close avoiding punches and firing back. I've watched them both and I don't see Mayweather pot shoting his way to victory.

    I'd be putting my money of Duran. I've watched both fighters for what seems like forever, and I have no reason to think Floyd would be able to deal with Duran's effective and constant pressure. The idea that he can hit and move and beat Duran using that style is almost laughable.

    Even if Leonard didn't have a choice on how to fight Duran the first time around. Mayweather would. Leonard's style going in to that fight was more engaging than Mayweather's is. As far as Duran's pressure being too much for Mayweather to handle. With so many oppoents making the mistake of using the first Castillio fight as a blue print. Everyone uses pressure on Mayweather. This means that Duran brings nothing new to the fight. Is Duran better at pressure than anyone else Mayweather has fought? Yes, however not only is Mayweather prepared for it. Pressure from his oppoents alows Mayweather to do what he dose better than anyone else. That is counter punch. While Duran is just a better version than pretty much everyone Mayweather fights. Mayweather is like no one that Duran has fought.
    Duran's only chance here is an early stoppage. Given Mayweather's abillity to not get hit and a pretty solid chin the few times when he dose get hit. I don't see it happening.

    What's even more laughable is to think that Floyd couldn't of been one the guys to put one of those 16 losses on Duran Record. With all Duran defense and offense he still couldn't prevent those 16 fighters from beating him. Even though most of them came towards the ending of his career, his first lost happen in the light weight division.
