Better thread: Mayweather vs Duran at 135 in their primes!!!

[therealpugilist]

Duran WOULD NOT get damaged by floyd mayweather jr

yeah Duran wouldnt get hit either...lol when you get hit it causes damage...both fighters will get bruised up...this is boxing not ballet

its rare that when these guys fight some one they dont mark them up and even punches that dont visibly hurt you damaged you...I have been in the ring before several times, have you? If you did you'd understand what Im saying man

135- Duran UD

147- Mayweather UD

Nobody is talking about 147 you incredible idiot..

whos the idiot now b1tch?

[-Lowkey-]

Duran is the greatest Lightweight ever!

Duran would win U.D or late stoppage.

You are, he answered the question and added a little extra. You werent even replying to him. You are trying to answer the TS question with what Floyd has done at 147... That is a testament to how you haven't been watching boxing for long because you don't know ****. You sir, are an idiot.

I.think people are forgetting that we ate talking 35lb floyd. I think.he confuses duran and makes him say ”no mas”

[them_apples]

Both are stylistic nightmares for each other...Most times people underrate Mayweathers toughness, and underrate Duran's defense and subtle technical prowess...Mayweather was arguably the greatest junior lightweight ever and Duran was Arguably the greatest lightweight ever only losing one fight at that weight to Esteban De Jesus whom he twice avenged after.

this is a 50/50 so I see no one being dominated at all, IMO it would depend on who adapts the fastest throughout the fight, both were great tacticians...this fight is to close to just base it on speed, power, strength or intangibles

Mayweather would have to bite down and fight at times, and Duran would have to cut off the ring and counterpunch at times...based off their styles and weaknesses I'd favor Mayweather because of his lateral movement, jab and counterpunching abilities and he'd be able to match Duran punch for punch unlike some of his other opponents based off his defense and reflexes....Also Mayweather is a better overall fight than the De Jesus that beat Duran and has some of those attributes is taller with a better Jab...Duran was rough as they come and a great counter puncher as well great to the body...man what a fantasy fight!!!


in one fight I'd favor Mayweather only because he'd land more shots but it would be by split or majority decision in a very great fight where we'd see the best of both at display

in a 3 fight series neither would have the upperhand, both would adapt but based off Duran's susceptablity to speed and lateral movement I'd say Mayweather wins 2-1...I could see Duran getting a kd or two in the series

Duran is the greater p4p fighter but head to head I'd pick Mayweather but I go back and forth on it all the time this wouldve been great

at WW, Duran smashes him. He could do what Cotto did only much better. He was so tricky, explosive and hit so hard. On top of that he fought for 15 rounds!!

135? Mayweather too fast, too much defense, too skilled. Duran's defense is SORELY underrated but still, Mayweather is level's above. Plus the power Floyd had at 135? Noone beats Floyd at that weight, except for maybe Sweet Pea.

You made a key point in your thread as well. It's about who "adapts the fastest." NOONE in the sport of boxing adapts as quickly as Floyd Mayweather Jr.

give us some names that floyd beat at 135 that made u think he can beat duran?

[IMDAZED]

At 135? Did you see Floyd Mayweather at 135? Not 130, not 140...135? Duran would batter him senseless.
