Roberto Duran Would've SCHOOLED Floyd Mayweather Jr. 9-3!

Exactly Benitez is not as great as pbf but he schooled Duran. And he would have always beaten any version of Duran h2h if Benitez could have made 135 when Duran was there he would have tooled him there. We've seen Duran schooled KTFO and frustrated by lesser fighters than pbf. We haven't seen that with pbf.

 

Offense usually wins. Most ATG fighters were offensive.

Vast majority of greats were about delivering the pain instead of playing defense.

 

Wladimir v.s Bryd, Whitaker v.s Oscar, Floyd v.s Castillo 1 are just a few examples of top offense beating top defense. Which is usually the case regardless of what that IDIOT said earlier about "Derrrp great defense beats great offense 9 out of 10 times" like some kind of generic little league coach

Good defense wins sometimes over good offense. But not most of the time.

 

YDKSAB!!!! And in a fight everyone has to have an offense ******, but not everyone has decent defensive skills hence the moniker "Punching Bag".. you really need to up your game, that **** is faulty as ****. You're not in Kansas anymore.

 

Dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Even the current Manny Pacquaio is just as good if not better than any version of Kessler.

 

I said that he has to box , which he would , therefore i said , it would be a close fight .
If Duran would try to brawl with Floyd , he would lose very clear.
The other guy who i was replying to , said that he would go after Floyd and he would hate him,
which implied to me , that he would brawl with him , in his opinion.

 

Roberto Duran was far from invincible too, still People talking about him in this thread like he was a god.

 

My bad for misunderstanding. I think Duran would definitely use his anger once he got inside. He hated Leonard but feinted and boxed his way inside. Then he went ham once he got in there lol

 

I can completely understand , why you think , that Duran would win the fight.

But it is not that easy to get inside against Floyd Mayweather , it happened against Castillo and Maidana,but
he was not at his best in those fights.

Against the best version of Floyd Mayweather , it is nearly impossible to get inside for the most of the fight,
even for a fighter like Roberto Duran.

I think he would do it enough to win 4 or 5 rounds , but not enough to win the fight.
Roberto Duran never fought an opponent with the defensive skills of Floyd Mayweather.

 

Cotto and Oscar too. And Hatton. And Augustus. It's happened enough that I favor Duran to get inside.

Leonard outboxed Benitez who was as skilled if not more than Floyd, and Duran beat Leonard. So again, Duran has proven he can hang with someone as good as Floyd.

By contrast, Floyd's opponents pale in comparison to Duran, and that's despite having a solid resume.

 

Duran style was to punish, however I would rank a prime floyds foot work right up there with prime Ali prime pep. duran is beating air all night. just like pac and clownelo.

 

Leonard outboxed Benitez and Duran beat Leonard , but lost to Benitez.
You can't go by that. Styles make fights.

Roberto Duran already lost to a defensive fighter like Benitez , who had not better skills than Mayweather.

If you had seen the fight from Mayweather against Juan Manuel Marquez for example , you would know
that Mayweather is above elite level ,as a boxing fan , i have never seen something like that.

Benitez had by no means better defensive skills than Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweathers reflexes are on another level.

 

Most of them were great all around fighters. **** are you talking about? Lmfao. Amateur attempt at trying to blow up sluggers and Pac lmfao.

 

So. That doesn't mean that he beats Floyd.
