    Whar did SRL do in the second fight that Floyd is incapable of doing?
    Does Mayweather have that same overall speed, athleticism, power, size? Come on now. Alot may disagree but SRL was to 147 what Mayweather was to 130.

      I agree with that,and Duran was probably the best 135lb fighter ever. This is just f.ucking daft.

        Im not talking size though. Im talking about the game plan SRL brought to the ring.

        Floyd has lights out athleticism, speed and foot movement for 147. Not to mention the defense.

        I didnt say Duran stood no chance. I just asked How does he beat hiom. Nobody has gave me an answer.

          Exactly... And, is no diss on Floyd. But, I think is just not fair to Floyd to have him in this fantasy match ups at 147... When I do Floyd fantasy fights. I do it at 130 maybe even 135... But, I don't do anything higher than that... Is just not fair to Floyd... We don't do Leonard fantasy fights at 160 or 168... We just do them at 147 cuz that was his weight-class...

            this thread is pretty disrespectful & delusional. How on earth could floyd beat duran if he could barely keep castillo at bay at 135 not to mention floyd fights nothing like ray leonard. How old are you might i ask?

              Floyd would beat Duran. Sugar Ray would make him look silly, Hearns would make him bleed, and Hagler would decapitate him. Floyd would not fare well against the legends of that era.

                Great GREAT point. I'm sick of the Whitaker vs. Leonard/ Hearns. Or Leonard vs. RJJ @ 160, stuff is unfair.

                    Mayweather is a small WW.

                    Beating Duran?

                    That ain't happening.

                    Manos De Piedra lands a couple shots on Floyd's chin and Floyd will be down for the count.

                    Don't pretend Floyd is some kind of ghost that never gets hit.

                    When he gets hit cleanly, it really stands out.

                    A prime Duran KO's Floyd in 10. Too much pressure, power, chin and timing.

                    The best Floyd could do is fight off his backfoot every second of every round and even then that just postpones the inevitable.

                    Duran was a beast at 147.

                      He had a torn rotator cuff vs. Castillo. So nice try.

                      People need to get they facts str8.
