    It knocked out DeJesus twice and gave SRL his only loss that decade.

    :lol:

    Yeah, he moved up several weight divisions and met an all time great P4P puncher several years younger than him, gave up an 11 inch reach advantage, a 6 inch height advantage, and suffered his first knockout loss in 82 fights. So funny, right.

    Yeah it was funny a highlight reel ATG KO.:lol: People actually thought Duran was going to beat Hearns, his machismo would see him to a victory over Hearns.:patsch:rofl It wouldn't matter if they were the same size Hearns was a stylistic nightmare for Duran and would comatose any version of him.:deal

    Probably not but he wouldn't be a highlight reel KO victim like Duran is that's for sure. He has the defense to save him atleast and probably go the distance.

    You're delusional if you think Hearn's, SRL or Duran couldn't hit Mayweather. Hearns would knock him back in time. Interesting enough Duran did get up from that KO shortly afterwards, something Pac wasn't able to do against JMM. And also interesting is that Duran beat Barkley who is about the same height as Hearns and beat Hearns twice. To me that's the greatest accomplishment in boxing that I've seen in my lifetime.

    And if Floyd's the man you say he is, why isn't he fighting middle weights, like Duran did? It doesn't have to be one of the all time best like Hagler was, it can just be GGG for example. Come to think about it when Duran beat Barkley he was about the same age as Mayweather is now.

    It's already established you hate Duran and "Latinos", there is no humor in the predictable.

    However your fail of a post asking how he did against Leonard and DeJesus was quite the surprise.

    In your dreams, a "washed up" Cotto and Oscar were able to land their jab and powershots on May in the division that the Hitman once owned. Hearns is putting Money to sleep above 150, the same he did to Duran. Shame we'll never see Mayweather test himself against a fighter of Hearns size and ability. Pathetic, you mock Duran for his past prime peformance against a peaked Hearns while Floyd is nestled safely in your fantasy fight dream of lasting the distance. I understand the Floyd hardcores have to do that alot.

    And I doubt May at 38 years of age is going to beat a prime great big MW Champion like Barkley to save face.

    your out your mind

    its ok to think Duran would win i get that but this statement is just ridiculous

    a fight between these two would always be close, it could go either way with these two

    The only person in this thread thats 'out of their mind' is Pimp C.
    Yes there's a couple of things Floyd can do better than Duran but Superior is a strong word. Floyd is superior to Duran at nothing :deal

    Prime for prime it isn't close. If JLC can get to Floyd what do you think prime Duran would do?
    People get too carried away watching Floyd school these flat footed boxer/punchers like Canelo. There was fans claiming Floyd as the GOAT because he beat Canelo Alvarez ffs :patsch Canelo wouldn't get anywhere near a title in Durans day.

    Floyd could be one of the most overrated stylists in the History of the sport.

    I can`t see that happening... First PBF would never have signed to fight Hearns. Secondly, PBF would have been so frightened and focused on surviving that Hearns would have kicked it up a notch to bow him out of there. That and the almost freakish size difference make this a short night for Floyd. IMO...

    worse, he drained canelo.

    floyd since unretirement, nothing but berto-levele xcept jmm, but that was a farce of a fight that involved cheating as well.

    *****s are delusional bunch.

    Floyd looking like an elite `stylist` is definitely enhanced by the level of opposition he consistently chooses... Usually less than...

    A 'prime Duran' once quit in a fight out of frustration.

    Just saying.
