**1980 Roberto Duran vs 2010 Floyd Mayweather Jr. @ 147**

Horus, when Flawless agrees with you. Then you know you're on the wrong side of the argument my dude.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Duran does not beat Floyd at 147.

No way, no how,.

He has a much better chance at 135. 147 um no.

That's crazy talk. Floyd is much better at 135 than he is at 147. Seriously, I don't think anyone could beat Floyd from 130 to 140 in the history of the sport

[jrosales13]

Honestly, joking aside.
I think Duran would have had a better chance at lightweight to beat Floyd rather than at Welterweight. Simply because @ WW Mayweather is Corba, he sits there and waits for every mistake you made, and he has enough power to make anybody think twice about opening up to much.
add to the fact he doesnt stand in one point long enough for substained ACTION, which Duran would have needed at Welterweight.

I think Duran would have Probably won 3 to 4 rounds at Most. Because
what would Duran Plan B be after Plan A surely doesnt work for him?

and After Plan B fails what would be his Plan C be?

We saw how his inability and lack of adjustments caused him to quit in the second Sugar Ray Leonard fight.

So what the hell is he going to do if he ever fought Floyd @ WW???

Like I said before, There are usually two different overall rhythmic forms, what I call the set-up rhythm

(preparing to punch or waiting to counterpunch, depending on the style of the boxer)

the rhythm of offensive motion and the rhythm of defensive motion.

However Floyd, like many great boxers varies these rhythms in subtle ways that are difficult for opponents to time, and he can seamlessly flow from one rhythmic form to the next without any break in the forms. Usually the opponent is not even aware that the transition has occurred until it is too late.

We saw this happen to all Floyd previous 40 opponents, and We saw to happen to Duran against SRL.

So how is it far off for me to say he might have quit against Mayweather also?

Horus I am not saying Duran would beat Horus at 147. But, no mas Horus? Floyd is not a big WW like Leonard was. Floyd never and I mean never ever ever ever at any weight especially at WW fought somebody Duran Horus. No diss to Floyd. But, never EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER in his career has he fought anybody remotely close to even a passed prime Duran. Never Horus honest **** Horus.

Saying that Floyd could win at 147. OK, I see that, I get it. Duran was not a beast at 147 or above. But, he was still damn good. Saying he will win is one thing but saying he will make him say no mas is a completely nuthuggery. Duran is not Oscar, Shane, Judah, Hatton, Baldo, Corrales, Gatti, Pac. He is none of them dude.

And, Floyd and Leonard are completely different night and day. Just cuz an ATG fighter did it in his first division doesn't mean an ATG fighter would do it in his 4th division. That is the key right there Horus.

I don't think so. Duran would actually be the best defensive boxer Mayweather has ever faced, and while we're all used to seeing Mayweather have his way on the outside/ mid-rande/ inside, he doesn't get that luxury against Duran. Duran had really good head movement. This would be anything but easy.

[BigStereotype]

Mayweather's got a good shot, but he's used to being able to sit back on the ropes and avoid punches. Can't do that against Duran, he'll **** you up. Same with May's clinching and inside fighting. He can scrap on the inside, but Duran would punish him. Duran was an absolute wild man, I could see him stopping Mayweather with a horrendous body assault.

I am not even saying Duran beats Floyd at 147. But, to say Floyd makes Duran say no mas just cuz SRL did it. IMO is completely insane.

[Killa Killa]

I don't agree that Floyd would make Duran "No Mas"...

You never know what could happen in the sport of boxing, but Floyd doesn't have the SRL workrate at 147....nor does he have the power that SRL had...so it would be a definite long shot....

[The Tase]

there is some utterly repugnant nuthuggery going on in this thread right now.

Didn't even vote. All depends on which Duran shows up. I mean Laing boxed circles around him and Laing was garbage
