Who is higher on the ATG list: Floyd Mayweather (so far) or Roberto Duran? - Page 10

Ray Corso

Duran as a Lightweight fights in any era and could challenge any Lightweight ever! Floyd as a Welter would not be able to compete at a high level against the ATG welters. I do see Floyd more as a 140lbs however I don't believe the "junior" classes should have titles!
Floyd ...5'6" 140
Duran...5'7" 135
.............I take Duran to win. At 35 Duran will be ON Floyd and Floyd would have to fight no walking off or acting cute with Duran at 35!!! It could and should be a good fight but Duran is to agressive for Floyd to deal with. Duran decs. win in 10 or 12 Duran by tko in 13 in a 15 round title.

You have the wrong stats Ray. Floyd is 5'8''. Floyd is obviously higher up p4p, the greatest welterweight of his generation. Possibly the greatest LWW ever and a terrific LW. Wins over ATGs such as Castillo, Corrales, Corley, Judah and Baldomir attest to that. I haven't even begun to mention Oscar, Cotto and the beast Mosley.

Duran is a Top 10 ATG.

Duran remained a top full time relevent contender for literally half a century, beating some incredible fighters along the way, in the golden era of boxing in the most stacked weight classes

He was a relevant fighter longer than Floyd has been alive.

Sharp

Probably Floyd.

On the strength of his reign at 130 and his remarkable ascent to the weight classes while remaining unbeaten.

More consistent than Duran as a bonus.

He didn't duck and was actually labeled a 'beast' and a 'warrior', even to this day. Floyd has never been labeled any of those.

This is the most onesided poll in internet history. Would have been closer if they did Oscar De La Hoya vs Mayweather but I would have still voted for Oscar.

They shouldnt even be in the same sentence. And whoever compared Duran to Baldamir. Your either clueless or just dumb

The difference is simple really. Mayweather has fought great fighters and beat them.Duran has been in with great fighters and lost,badly in most cases. Plus Duran QUIT against Sugar Ray. Don't bring up the health first stuff again.Duran is nore famous for "NO MAS" than beating legends. Duran took some awful one-sided beat-downs. I'm not a huge Mayweather guy either but I'll post the truth here.Duran had a great career just not ATG.
