Mayweather is more skilled overall then Duran based on WHAT? Elaborate.
Hand speed,ring movement,being able to slip punches.Duran was good at these also but not better the main that got him as far as he went was heart and his chin and punching power.
Duran fought all the top fighters from 135 to 167 pounds. During the last 20 years of his career, he was almost always fighting bigger and younger opponents.Even in his fourties,and fighting on memory alone, he was giving fighters like Pazianza and Camacho all they could handle.He even knocked Pazienza down in their fight, and in his first fight against Camacho, Duran won at least 8 of the 12 rounds, only to lose a decision that sugar ray leonard called a early christmas present for camacho!!
Duran was the best fighter of the 70's, bar none. he fought the competition, He overcame obstacles, He beat up old guys when He was the up and comer, and beat up young guys when He was the old guy.
Duran was GREAT, no matter how you slice it.
I'm not arguing about if Duran was an all-time great or not. I thought we were discussing solely about Duran - Leonard rivalry. Duran won against Leonard in a very close fight, 'cause if it was a blowout there wouldn't have been a f**kin' rematch, now 2nd fight Leonard took him to school, but it was too hard of a lesson so he bailed. It's that simple.

I hate to break it to you, but you know nothing about the sport. I grew up in the gym, and Duran is a LEGEND. Only a fool would argue about his boxing skill.

Yeah Duran was all that and a bag of ch!ps, it's just that Leonard did all those things better.
