    I could never see a prime Mayweater taking a beating either.

Margarito and Williams can never be thought of as a modern day Hagler and Hearns. That is why PBF don't need them on his resume.
      no, not even close, not even on the same planet, not even in the same galaxy.

      Duran ruled a division for years, moved up in weight and beat one of the greatest champions 147 has ever seen.

      Cotto held a paper belt for a few years, then he moved up in weight, and his best win would be against an older guy who will weigh 10+ pounds less than him when they get in the ring

        LOL...

        going on by what you hear and see on boxrec right?

        did Duran look small at 147? no

        does Mayweatehr looks small at 147? yes, he looks like a shrimp

        Mayweather and Leonard is perectly legit comparison between two great boxers and two great businessmen.
        It was widely knows nobody could beat duran at 130. Look at highlight reels the smaller guys get KTFO

          +1 Cotto has alot more people to KO before he can be conisdered a Modern day Duran.

            He also has to quit once in the middle of a fight.

              HAHAHA

              1) not a reply to my post

              2) who the hell did Duran fight at 130? how about you try to use boxrec correctly?

              Duran was a full fledged lightweight by age 20

                I would put real money on Mayweather beating Duran at 130 if I had a time machine.He wouldn't brawl with him like lenard did in the first fight.

                    Sugar Ray Leonard himself said it would be a tough fight between him and PBF so **** that **** you wrote in the bold. You are very much entitled to that opinion but I think I'll go with what the man himself over that. I don't want to hear Ray Leonard said that to be gracious because he said the reason he wouldn't fight Aaron Pryor was because he would beat the **** out of Aaron Pryor.

                      ALT-Assassin, Fightingfigs

                      why on earth are you guys considering Duran at 130? is it in light of modern day weigh ins 24 and some hours before the fight?
