"red k, red k"


loool, who are these fcking losers



if youre a trainer, do you use a mans worst performance and call it a 'blueprint' to prepare for him?

of course not... any sensible person that isnt a total loser, would aim to beat the best possible version of a fighter, in any scenario be it real life or even some fantasy forum talk



'look at how he was beat in leonard 2 when the hungry spic was 4 months off his biggest win... yeah lets beat him like that'

Yea, Floyd would have to really fight outside a lot, Floyd lays on the ropes a lot though that is probably no good against Duran.

It certainly isn't a foregone conclusion but I like Floyd in that fight always have, but I can understand people liking Duran chances also.

Now thats a fight!!!!! Don't go with the second leonard fight. That fight was totally designed for leonard to win. 4 months in between fights, unheard of in those days, knowing DURAN would blow up to over 170, and celebrate his victory for months, in NY, PANAMA, MIAMI. Then they gave leonard the 24x24 ring so he could run away from DURAN. DURAN remember was a 135 lbs who worked his way up to 147. Unlike leonard who was a natural 47 and much younger. Nevertheless: DURAN vs PBF? Now that's a fight!!!!!!!

actually i dont red k a lot but that made no sense. and ur under the assumption that i think duran lost because he was performing badly. duran lost because of leonard. leonard made him lose with his performance. so hell yes if ur able to emulate what leonard did in that fight, and most arent, then that is the best way to try to beat a roberto duran. only an idiot would argue otherwise. and sine floyd is very capable of fighting in the style leonard chose to go with in that fight, i think its totally conceivable that he could beat duran.

wud be a good fight but prime duran was better in the inside and he knew how to get there

competitive but clear win for duran

floyds under rated chin and resolve would come in handy durring the tough parts
