how would floyd have done against the duran that beat leonard???

[The Big Dunn]

A lot of people like to say this, but if you look at these threads, there's usually A LOT more people in the threads saying that he will lose, than there is people saying the opposite.

and the rationale they give, if they even give one, is usually some hate related garbage.

I think it depends on how Floyd fought him. If he fought him smart he could fare well I'm not sure he could win but if he tried to match Duran like Leonard did then he would get beat. Leonard got beat trying to go toe to toe with Duran Floyd is no Leonard IMO

You hit the nail on the head bro.

LOL, Floyd never losses real fights so people dream about fantasy fights.

Anyways, I normally pick against Floyd, Floyd loses to Hearns, Hagler, Leonard.
But he wins against Duran by a SD maybe, depending on which version of Floyd we are talking about.

Granted, Duran has a 100 time better resume than Floyd.

[jvsnypes]

Duran was highly motivated for that fight. He simply hated Leonard and everything he represented.If he came in with that same hatred for Floyd and aggression, I think he would win by a pounding UD. Floyd doesn't throw in combos the way Ray did. Pot shotting would not keep Duran off of him. Plus, Duran was never an easy target to hit. That was just a total different era. Floyd would have stayed at 135 or 140 if he fought in that era.

[Good Boy]

duran would beat the crap out of him

[BoxingFollower]

Floyd would have stayed at 140...Pacquiao probably would have stayed at 120.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Meh I like Floyds chances.

[He-Yung Do]

He would have retired until Duran was had moved up or retired. In fact, if Floyd were a fighter back in those days he wouldn't have moved up past 130 and if he had we wouldn't have even heard of him.

[lx!!]

Floyd would have duck him, fake a retirement or say no cuz Duran lives in panama. If the countless list of fighters he ducked weren't as good as Duran imagine to what extreme he will go to avoid him??? Duran will scare him worst than Margarito & Pacquiao together.

[GOD-FR33]

Great fight.

What do you think would have happen between Duran and Pacman? I think Manny would've won a decision against Duran. He was equally as tough. His legs, hand-speed, power, angle-punching, combination-punching, chin and stamina would have pulled him through in a WAR at 140lbs.
