Floyd Mayweather vs Roberto Duran

[GTL]

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.m Prime Meldrick was held to a draw by past prime Howard Davis. 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 can see what your saying.. but damn, meldrick had these sick combos.. he didnt throw one shot at a time..

i pick duran and pryor because of there ferocity and skill level that went along with it.. pryor could bob and weave and i really cant see floyd keeping him at bay.. same with duran.. those are my only picks against floyd..

If anybody was going to beat Floyd it would be Duran and possibly Pryor. But Taylor had too many flaws. I know he was very fast but he was not very strategic in the ring. He fought more with his heart. And he was never a hard puncher. Mayweather-Taylor might have looked a lot like Mayweather-Judah but even more one sided..

Lets not forget, Floyd is past his physical prime at 147 as well IMO ( his foot speed is much slower, he not as active as he was at lightweight and he doesn't punch as hard). That said, i think Duran has a good chance at beating him at both weights( especially light weight). Even at welter, Duran was good enough to beat Leonard (even though he fought the wrong fight the first time) and that skillful pressure mixed with outside boxing ability could confuse any boxer mover. I can't decide on either fights, both are 50/50 IMO at both weights.

Floyd-Duran at 135 would have been a classic. Duran is one of the best all-time at that weight and Floyd is one of the top boxers of all-time and that was IMO his best weight.

Floyd UD's Duran at 147 in a comfortable way but decent fight.
