floyd's all time status match ups - floyd mayweather vs roberto duran

lightweight
i got duran in this one.there no doubt in my mind considering how well Luis Castillo looked against floyd, duran walks threw him.

Another intersting one, 135 Duran was a beast but he never really fought someone like Floyd. I think this is a 50/50 fight, a classic style contrast. I could see it going both way really, i could see Duran landing a lot and pounding Floyd more so then anyone has ever seen, but i could also see Floyd putting on a masterful boxing display and flustering the **** out of Duran. Duran being probably the greatest 135 pound fighter of all time probably deserves a slight edge.

i just look at the dificulty floyd had with castillo and think of duran just walking threw him, of course floyd has a great left hook and de jesus floored duran twice, so its possible he could win this.

Pretty much what i said about Ray Robinson applies here also. Except Floyd's style is somewhat different at 135 then 147. If Floyd fought like he fought in JLC 1 he would probably get beat, but if he fought like he did in JLC 2 he good shot at winning. Someone whipping Floyd's ass is hard to see because i just do not think his style really allows that outcome.

Duran, Robinson and Pryor would all give it a hell of a shot though and might just ship his ass.

Floyd could take Duran fighting the same way Leonard did in their second fight. Hit and run, win a decision. Styles make fights.
