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

Mayweather could only be greater or near duran in terms of greatness if he adds pacquiao to his resume. Imagine what a limited maidana style did to mayweather last may, duran has brought that style to perfection and even more ferocity at his best. Best version of duran beats the best version of floyd just per style basis. Floyd's condition has always been constant though, we should give him that.Comment

duran couldn't carry floyd's jockstrap..duran has never unified titles in his fourht and fifth weight class. floyd is top 5 all time duran is maybe top 30..
stop comparing this quitter to TBE.Comment

Yeah, unified titles with who Victor Ortiz ? Carlos Baldomir? Fringe contenders? 35 year old Oscar? Lol. Seriously go choke on a **** and stop breathing. You're not an asset to society with that logic.Comment

What are you asking? Seems like a statement and not a questionRoberto Duran was a naturally smaller man than Floyd Mayweather, yet he became middleweight champion when he defeated Iran Barkley.

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!Comment
