duran could not beat floyd

whitaker-pryor maybe

duran would get frustrated and quit

floyd ain't half the man duran was.

yeah it's called being too small and old.

let's see floyd campaign at 154 and 160 for a few years.

oh wait......he doesn't even fight 147 fighters.

Imagine Floyd fighting Hopkins in his prime. LMAO!!!

Anyways, lets try and get this thread back on topic. WAR DURAN!

He was a natural lightweight, and quite probably the greatest lightweight of all time too.

Despite this, he gave Marvin Hagler, arguably the greatest middleweight of all time his toughest fight.

The career of Manos de Piedra was amazing.

pernell whitaker was a better lightwieght

I hate the myth that unless you are a "classic boxer" you don't have any skills and will always lose to a counterpuncher.

Its nonsense! Whatever happened to styles make fights, huh? The Swarmer beats the Boxer who beats the Slugger who beats the Swarmer? Whatever happened to that?

Duran had some excellent skills in his prime. Just because he wasn't always backing up doesn't mean he wasn't technically able.

Grrrr!!

people think if you land 1 punch and don't get hit with any is skill.

i say the guy who lands 5 punches and get hit only once is the better man.
