    Who is higher on the ATG list: Floyd Mayweather (so far) or Roberto Duran?

    Roberto Duran was a naturally smaller man than Floyd Mayweather, yet he became middleweight champion when he defeated Iran Barkley.

    http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:3261

    Floyd Mayweather will never win a belt at middleweight because he will never take on an opponent slightly bigger than himself, like Sergio Martinez or Gennady Golovkin. However, Floyd has never had a problem fighting smaller men like Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Duran never ducked anybody. His achievements are greater than Floyds. Instead of cherry-picking old faded fighters like Shane Mosley or flawed fighters coming off a loss like Zab Judah, instead of ducking prime lightweights, welterweights and middleweights, Duran was always willing to fight the best boxers in their prime.

    Even fighters much bigger than himself like Iran Barkley!

      Easily Duran.

      Floyd's on his health first route and won't fight anyone worth a damn. The ones that are actual threats, he just chooses to duck them.

          If anyone votes Floyd, they should probably shoot themselves behind the ear.

            Duran and it's not close at all....

            I can't wait for a specific Floyd nuthugger that considers Duran a bum to come inhere and tell us how much greater Floyd is than Duran.

                    Pointless garbage thread made by a guy that constantly tries to discredit Mayweather while at the same time drools over the biggest pu55y in boxing history, a fighter that breaks the rules at every opportunity to avoid getting KTFO.
