      With all fairness Floyd hasn't seen anything like Duran across the ring from him...it would be like Castillo on steroids and an even better chin and better boxing skills...

      And Floyd is the much better boxer than Leonard. Floyd woundn't be ****** as Leonard and brawl. Mayweather always uses his mind when he boxes. He would clown on Duran so badly, Duran would do a No Mas

        I just can't see Floyd being dumb enough to trade shots with Duran, he would play it safe and get the decision.

        Mayweather vs Duran would look like SRL vs Duran II.

        Now if Floyd somehow, out of nowhere, gets ****** and decides to fight Duran instead of boxing him, then yeah Duran probably Knocks him out.

          I know Duran was a beast but Floyd aint about to stand there trading shots with him like Leonard did in their first fight... Floyd by UD from 135-147 easy

            This is why I picked Duran to beat Pacquiao... Cuz I know Paquiao gonna trade with him and get KTFO... But Floyd would cruise to a UD without a doubt and Floyd's speed at 135 gives Duran all kinda of problems

              Floyd is not as fast as Leonard at 147...147 is Ray's natural weightclass...

              Add in the fact Floyd has brittle hands...he can't simply box and move for 12 rounds...

              Whether he trades shots or not Duran will make him fight at times...

                comparing SRL to PBF is a bad comparison. Totally different types of fighters..SRL was an incredible combination puncher and had more power than PBF, and was also naturally stronger and PBF he was a bigger man. Now Duran's best weight was lightweight so if this fight were to happen at 135..Duran takes it, he will punish PBF's body, the fighters from back in the day were killers!!..15rd fighters.

                  15 rounds with small gloves? Duran would obliterate Mayweather. Mayweathers a defensive genius but them big gloves and 12 rounds help his style alot, the rules back in the 1980s favour Duran and go against Mayweathers style. Duran would be too much for him, you all seem to think you can just out-box duran lol, it doesn't work like that, Duran won't let you out-box him he'll chase you down put you on them ropes and smash your body/arms/head everything he can hit. He beat a Prime unbeaten Leonard at 147 and no, Leonard didn't fight a ****** fight, that's how Leonard ALWAYS fought.

                  Much respect for Mayweather but if we're talking 1980s rules @ 135, Mayweather isn't winning.

                    Well making Floyd fight 15 rounds would not be fair...but at 135 I'd deff favor Duran...

                    At 147 its a toss up bout...

                    At any weight it would be the most brutal fight Floyd may be in...Floyd's ribs might turn into ground beef if Duran can easily trap him on the ropes
