Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs. Roberto Duran

[-EX-]

If me, a 155 pounder, can take 1000 shoulder shots from a beast 220 pound(My sparring partner) brolic as hell. I'm sure Floyd's huge ass shoulders can take shots from a LW-WW.

Take the shoulder shots and throw in some shots to the liver, shots on the hip, and dirty tactics...

And something I didn't see someone point out...Duran wasn't easy to hit...he could box and make you miss...


Its all fair though...you can think Floyd would beat Duran...I think he could possibly at 147...but no man is winning easily...

But if Floyd stands in the pocket at 135-154 against Duran he will be pissing blood at the end of the night...

Everybody here thinks the shoulder roll is the new invincible move like in a video game.

It was the same thing with how everybody was saying "check hook" 43,000 times after the Hatton fight like they knew what they were talking about.

It's like the new answer in jeopardy.



Well duran would give him different angles and hes got solid power in both hands. He can throw some heavy and accurate combinations too.

Answer: Shoulder roll.

People Castillo was Chavez sparing partner..Lets not compare him to Duran, and SRL and PBF have to totally different styles. If you were to take PBF and put him in the 80's..I dont see him beating Duran, SRL, Hagler, Hearns or Benitez. All these dudes would beat him.

I admit i disagree with some posters saying Floyd wins easily. From what I have seen from Duran in his prime, Floyd would need the perfect gameplan to beat Duran and he def needs be as defensive as ever. Not an easy fight at all.

I think he could at least compete with the bolded...haven't seen enuff Benitez

Hagler's too big and if Hearns lands a right hand it could be serious trouble...

Floyd would probably compete at 140...

Mayweather beats him at any weight.

Agreed..I mean if Sugar Ray pissed him off by flurry punches...how would he feel about Mayweather Pot Shotting him while he was swinging at air....

I'd give Duran a better chance at 147. At 135 Floyd was very quick and Duran wasn't as skilled (well perhaps near the end).

At 147 that is a prime Duran, I really can't see Floyd dealing with a guy like that especially since nobody on his record even comes close to being as good as him.

Mayweathers Defense > Sugar Ray's defense

SRL power > PBF power
SRL chin > PBF chin
SRL handspeed > PBF handspeed
SRL size+strength > PBF size_strength
SRL foot work > PBF foot work

World champion when he was 17.....let that sink in for a moment....he was a World champion when he was 17 and in an era where there was 1-2 champions per weight division, not 5-6. Not saying he's a better defensive fighter than Floyd but Benitez is most definitely an ATG with amazing skills.

Are you seriously saying hes a better over all fighter than Floyd? Im not sure what your point is and thats not a shot just Im confused.

Floyd would have to fight the perfect defensive fight with Duran, not easy at all and I know that was directed at me that's why i am addressing this post.

Look Kev Ill take some of that blame. They are attackin you because its Mayweather not because it doesnt make sense. I am led to believe that most of them have not even seen Duran's fights. And if those that have watch them again then they'll stop givin you grief.
