I like this answer... instead of making a topic loaded as hell, this person recognizes both possibilities. Floyd at his best could frustrate Duran... Duran at his best could beat Floyd into submission.
Wait wait wait... what am I saying? If one fighter is better than the other, they will win 1,000,000 times out of a 1,000,000 fights.
yeah i agree the floyd that fought castillo the 1st time would most likely lose because he relied quite abit more on speed and athleticism in those days however the floyd that fought hatton was extremely smart and composed and imo would most likely beat duran, it would definately be an entertaining fight either way.
Even with Duran always pressing forward and Mayweather's questionable power, I would go with Duran by a split decision. I don't think Duran will knock Mayweather out because Floyd won't stand there and be his punching bag. However, I don't think Floyd has the footwork, like Leonard did. Mayweather will be pressured and Duran will win because of his constant activity.
When it comes to fights like this, it's impossible to say for sure. They only way we would ever know is if they actually fought. Unfortunately, this is one of many dream match ups that we'll never see.
Floyd is a great boxer, and if he can fight a smart fight, he can pull it off. I believe Duran would get to him and beat him though. It could be like either Duran-Leonard 1 or Duran-Leonard 2. It would come down to whoever executes better.
...or no mas all over again. i like duran so i wanna say floyd couldn't withstand the pressure...but the man can be outboxed.

its a no brainer
Duran by late TKO :boxing:
You are right
Floyd won't even negotiate on fighting Duran.
If he's scared to fight Cotto, Margarito, and Pacquiao how much more with Duran?
For sure the Mayweather clan will destroy Duran's name and accuse him as a steroid user.
Unfortunitely you are too. And we would see 21,000 threads about it I afraid too.
castillo fight all over again
