Duran at least had the balls to fight real fighters, fighters who were a threat.
Tell me an old Sharmba Mitchell an old Baldomir, Henry Bruseles, Judah, old Gatti, old ODLH, were a threat. Duran moved up to fight the best of the beasts. Floyd cherry picked his way to the top. Had Floyd fought people like, Williams, Cotto, Mosley and the likes there of, then I would be praising PBF a little more but, he left a lot of things undone in numerous weight classes. Not to mention he barely got past Jose Luis Castillo his first time around. Floyd is good and maybe even great but his record/opponents ain't all that either. Floyd's best work was at the lower weight classes. Anything Floyd did later in his career was WHACK. Most of his fights at the higher weight classes were boring as fuuck. Hence the nick name, Pretty Boring Floyd.
