You guys live in the past too much. You have to understand that it was a totally different era. We only look at those guys different because the sport was much bigger. Major fights were on basic TV and so on but that doesnt make those fighters greater than they were today. SRL vs Duran is no different than Floyd vs Pac and so on. Its all relative. People just always want to pick older fighters over today's fighters but Im not going to fall for all that hype. SRL was blessed by having bigger names in his same division at the time. If Floyd wouldve stayed down in weight where he was better at then he wouldve been able to fight Pac, JMM, MAB, EM, Diaz, Guzman, and so on. Who was going to beat him? He didnt have to move up. He only moved up to chase Oscar. If he wouldve stayed down in weight then everyone would be looking at him totally different. They would be saying that he has one of the best resume's in boxing and that he's one of the most exciting fighters in boxing because he would be going all out at that weight.

Look, IM no Kelleman defender. I dont even like the guy but if you saw it then you would know that he wasnt bragging on Floyd when he said it. He said it in just to a question that a fan asked him. Infact, I think it was the same type of question that we are talkin about now. I think Max said that SRL would kill him head to head but Floyd at 130 was just as good if not better then both Hearns & SRL and that he's ooked much better and has had far better success moving up in weight then they did. You cant deny that unless youre being a homer. Those guys were not the same guys when they moved up and Im not talking about those phony titles they won to guys like Danny Lalonde who 1 wasnt great and 2, SRL got a LHW title for beating him at a weight drained 168
