    If you think Floyd wouldn't be competitive, at any weight, you're being a tad unrational.

    That's irrational smart guy. If Duran could beat a prime, undefeated Ray Leonard at 147, he would most certainly beat Floyd. If Duran could lose a one point 15 rd decision to Hagler at 160, he would certainly beat Floyd there. Obviously Floyd is somewhat competitive, but what weight exactly do you think Floyd beats him?

      It's 2:30 in the morning, and bold and italics aren't the same, smart guy.

      And please point out where I stated Floyd would beat Roberto. Considering I VOTED for Duran.

        I always thought Styles make fights, your post proved me wrong here.

        Thanks for proving me wrong.

          Irrational would be calling someone irrational due to their opinion of a FANTASY fight.

            I find it humerous that the people who claim that Mayweather shouldn't be compared to the likes of Leonard, Hearns, Duran, etc., are the same people who consistently make these type of polls.

            Yawn.
            i havent said anything about that mayweather shouldnt be put on the same league as these guys. i just want to know the onipions of people cos is interesting. i personally think that duran wins at 135, but at 147 i would choose mayweather. =P

              I think Duran beat PBF at any weight. PBF is good and would be competitive againts the all time greats but I dont think he has what it takes to beat them. 1st off these guys were going 15rds. Duran/Hearns/Leonard/Hagler/Benitez were all time greats. I can see Floyd being competive with some and being destroyed by others. Those fighters back then were just at a different level.

                Certainly would have to go with Duran at 135 although i go with Mayweather at Welter

                    Floyd wins by close Decision. Too much hand speed, defense, and ring smarts.

                      mayweather has no chance of beating duran if he almost got KTFO by hatton.
