Floyd Mayweather vs Roberto Duran

[Grand Champ]

A big factor in this fight would be the referee aswell. If they allowed Duran to rough Mayweather up like in some of his earlier fights or it would be like Mayweather-Hatton where the ref barely allowed any infight. On the outside center of the ring there's of course no doubt who the better boxer is.

I mentioned this before. But I'll say it again Floyd is dumb strong on the inside this guy is hard to bully. No one will just bull rush him. Floyd would keep him in the middle of the ring and just circle him and dart in and out.

I really think you're underrating Duran's beastie nature, relentlessness, speed, power, physique and dirty tricks.. If the ref didn't keep him away from Mayweather he would be in for a night in hell. What I would really love to see aswell is the pre-fight interview and weigh in. The trash talk of Duran could easily match with Floyds and then some

I agree the build up would be insane. Im sure these two wouldnt like each other. I just have a hunch.

If you think Duran was past it at 147, but Floyd is prime at 147, there is something wrong with you.

Floyd is in his prime right now. Not physical prime, but he has never been a better fighter than he is now.

So when he wasn't in his prime when he fought Mitchell?

From Gatti to Mitchell he became passed prime?

OK buddy...

I don't know how you could tell. Mitchell was about 50 years old.

You're funny.

THISSSS..

I was thinking about making a thread like this..
I mentioned this in another thread.. but the only guys that can beat floyd in the past eras that ive seen much footage of are...

aaron pryor, roberto duran, and meldrick taylor..

the ferocity of the first 2 are rediculous.. floyd wouldnt be able to keep them at bay.. castillo had sucess in his fights with floyd and duran and pryor are much better fighters..

edit.. i dont know HOW i forgot my second fighter of all time.. sweet pea.. I see him outpointing in a competitive bout.. hes about the only fighter that i think can OUTBOX floyd.. he was the purest boxer ive seen..

No way Meldrick Tayor beats Mayweather. He was not on Mayweather's level. And I have seen more than just "footage" of Taylor. He had no defense and didn't punch as hard as Floyd does. And Floyd is a much smarter fighter. Prime Meldrick was held to a draw by past prime Howard Davis jr. And Davis was no Mayweather. The other two would have been hard, close,competitive fights. But if I had to pick I would pick Mayweather. The fighter with the best chance to beat Mayweather would be Duran.

I think Floyd decisions Duran at both weights.
