    SRL admitted that when Duran landed his shots that they actually felt like bricks! lmao. If i had to put money on the fight I'd say Floyd, but on the other hand....Bricks landing pretty boy Floyd? ha yea.

      this would actualy be a great fight at 135lbs people forget that floyd himself was a beast in his 135lbs days

      people see duran as a guy who hits hard but he was a smart boxer a good technician Duran would move his head, slip punches, stay in punching position, feint and counter with deadly accuracy

      id have to go with duran but it wouldnt be an easy fight for him and floyd does have the skill to beat a guy like duran but id go with duran u.d maybe late k.o at 135lbs at 147 id say duran agin but maybe only by s.d

      p.s its not an easy fight for duran like some of you guys are saying

            This is the best post I saw.

            Legends get inflated and so many times people just say "Oh (legend) would've destroyed (current great)".

            Half these people commenting have probably never even watched Duran fight. "No mas" ring any bells? Duran flustered and too slow to catch a quick and clever slick boxer.

            I'm in the minority that says Floyd takes this, but I'm probably thinking about it more realistically then most of you.

                Umm, Leonard-Duran was at 147 numb nuts.

                "Leonard was not a slick boxer?" Are you asking me, telling me? What is it?

                Don't question me just for the sake of argument.

                  Sorry about late reply.

                  Floyd is the more 'Complete' fighter but Duran would win in a fight through workrate or tko, and a much greater resume. Jmo.

                    i know what weight the fight was at and im telling you leonard was a slick boxer no question about it he didnt have great D like floyd but his offence was on another level he was also just as quick maybe even quicker than floyd

                    im saying duran was quicker at 135lbs you saying he is he is slow and flustered is a joke

                      What does this have to do with anything? Why are you talking about Duran at 135?

                      I'm talking about Duran-Leonard.

                      Duran was not flustered against Leonard. Got it.
