Roberto Duran vs.Floyd Mayweather jr. (picture)@ 154lbs. who wins?

[MurkaMan]

you have no idea what your talking about. i don't think you have even seen the fight. duran dominated early and ray made a good comeback in the middle and later rounds.

I just watched it last week....I was wrong, it was the second round he got caught...but u over exaggerated...Ray didnt barely get hit in the first round, and u said he got thrashed on the ropes...Duran barely landed anything on the ropes...Duran didnt start beating thadass until the 3rd round...now if Ray can stand flatfooted and not get hit for as long as he did, then imagine what Floyd would do...The ONLY reason Ray's plan didnt work, is because he got to patient and started waiting...U cant wait in the pockect like that, ur not Mayweather...I think Floyd vs Duran would be AWESOME, But Floyd's accuracy would TRUMP Duran's defense!

totally agree with you, mayweather its boring fighter.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!...Bro Floyd aint been boring since the Mosley fight, and thats cuz Mosley was scared to engage...U must have been living under a rock lately...Floyd is the first offensive fighter, that cant get hit..and throws combinations, with exciting venemous KO over Ortiz, that Made the WHOLE world stop...didnt u watch the news outlet?..Yea Floyd was ALL over the news for that KO...Yall gotta quit lying about Floyd being boring...its like yoou try to hold on to the past and manipulate urselves into thinking he's still boring...baldomir fight was boring, and Marquez fight was boring in the later rounds....but things have changed since then...Pac is the boring caution fighter scared to get countered...Floyd attacks from the first bell now...Give the man his props...he has turned a completely new leaf, and I love it!

Floyd at 154. Duran at lightweight. Duran's the better fighter but this is a styles fight that favors Floyd. I'd be more curious as to a fight between El Radar vs Floyd. That'd be a doozy.


Also, Murk touched on something that's true and that's Floyd's offense. People think he's boring and not agressive but it's because he doesnt get hit. When Floyd is stalking...good luck

At 154?, i'll still go with Duran. I don't think Mayweather's philly shell will work against one of the best technicians who has a crazy inside game, and a great shin. What is he gonna do to stop the freight train? I don't see it. Duran by late KO.

At 154 Myweather wins he'll outbox Duran at that weight and SRL Duran 1 Montreal SRL fought a bad fight he said Duran made some disparaging remarks towards his family that made him very mad that through him off his gameplan he elected to brawl instead of box and he lose in the rematch the real SRL showed up

I think at 154 I'd lean on Mayweather.

135 I would strongly lean on Duran.

As I'm sure others will tell you, the way Leonard fought in the first fight is how he always fought. The second fight was the different Leonard, the guy not fighting like he usually does.

Floyd does not even HAVE to use the shoulder roll...he only used it on Ortiz because Nonito did a popular interview in which he said Floyd cant use the shoulder roll on southpaws, so Floyd used it to prove a point...he didnt even use it on Mosley and only showed a mere GLIMPSE of it in the 9th rnd

[bojangles1987]

What a fight, since it's being talked about in this thread. Duran was on another planet this night.
