    Comments Thread For: Duran: In My Era, Mayweather Would've Been Ordinary

    Legendary hall-of-famer Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran does not believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) would have been a force in his era, when fighters like Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard and Wilfred Benitez were on top. He says Mayweather would have been "just another guy in the bunch."

    Duran is not impressed with Mayweather's level of competition, stating that there is no comparison between the top contenders of today and the fighters who ruled from junior welterweight to middleweight 30 years ago. Duran said Mayweather should have a loss on his record from the first fight with Jose Luis Castillo and he scored the fight with Oscar De La Hoya as a draw. [Click Here To Read More]

          Its true that mayweather wouldn't have been special at welterweight in the 80s

                  So says the guy who quit ( No Mas!) because he couldn't get to or hit Sugar Ray. Floyd would have beat him easily.

                          Everyone knows this, also Pryor was around.

                          Would be good fights

                              Disagree. He would still be an elite fighter and a hall of famer but he probably wouldn't be undefeated.

                                      No way.

                                      First off, he probably wouldn't have been fighting at 147 though, same with Manny.

                                      He wouldn't be unbeaten, but he would still be an ATG and HOF.
