How in Gods name could Duran beat FLoyd.

[ThePunchingBag]

The guy was the WBC Featherweight Champion of the World.

Floyd beat his ass.......at 21 years old.

So having a belt means you're not over the hill, with your foot basically out the door?

Hernandez was slowing at the tail end of his career.

It wasn't that much of a risk for Floyd.

Stomach cramps.

Go take a **** then,you must need one,as is evident.

That leaves Castillo and Corrales,fair enough both good,but not great fighters. Their legacy was secured more by their shared experience rather than the amount of trees they ripped up. Corrales may just be his best win,it is imo.

Corrales IS his best win. Which was 9 years ago.....



If he beats Mosley in May that will change though.

Stomach cramps bro.

At 21 years old? In his 18th fight?


Floyd was still a prospect for Gods sake.

I'm not so sure about that,16 months off is a helluva lot for a guy approaching 40,who has already completed a full training camp recently.

And Hernandez was picked because he was an easy win. They got him at exactly the right time,and before you start with the predictable,'Floyd never gets any credit' whine, I think Hernandez was a good place to start. This was back in the day when I was actually a fan of Floyds btw.

Which means he wont be rusty.

He already said that out his own mouth.

"The difference with me is I that I keep training, and working out, and getting myself together. I've been training really for the Mayweather or the Pacquiao fight, I wasn't really training for Berto. Like I said, I was looking to get through him. I'm not worried about not fighting for a year, because I be in the gym working and training."

Nearly 40 burner. See what happens to your body when you get to that age.......if somebody hasnt already throttled you by that point!

I agree.

It was a great move on Floyd's part.

He gets an easy win against a good name and for the most part I agree it was a decent win for his resume.

Was it a risk though?

No.
