    I was gonna come in here to say "unquestionably Duran", but the poll speaks for itself.

      Completley different perspectives both guys had for boxing. Floyds style revolves around not getting hit. Durans is laying out an @ss whooping whilst efficiently working around his opponents offense. If you ask me, taking a few shots while slipping most inside the pocket at a high speed feverish rate is more impressive then Floyd jabbing to the midsection, shoulder rolling a quick combo on the ropes and running out of his opponents range

        Duran and its not even debatable.

        Duran KO of Ernesto Marcel is as better win than 1/10 of Mayweather's top victories (i think only Pacquiao is a better victory, really).

        Prime Ken Buchanan and Esteban de Jesus are better than the whole Floyd run through super-feather to light-welter.

        Hell, even Guts Ishimatsu is better than most Floyd's top victories.

          Floyd fought a faded version of Pacquiao, and because of Floyd's ILLEGAL injection it should be changed to a "no contest" anyway.

                Freedom, please find another excuse. Manny lost. You picked him to win. Get over it, move on.

                As for this thread, I wish Floyd had fought 60 guys you didn't know. I imagine you'd be far more critical of these wins if they were on his resume instead of Duran's.

                Floyd is retired so how about you retire from bigoted and bias posting. Oh yeah, Ward is still better than GGG so I guess you aren't going anywhere.

                  I have Duran as well but a question for you Tua.

                  what about losing to Kirkland Laing and quitting? How do we factor these into his resume?

                    This is going to end up like who ranks higher Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds.
