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

[techliam]

Not many would argue otherwise.....

In my oppinion for as much as that counts for floyd is a special talent no matter what era you put him in would he have stayed undefeated in the 80s?? Quite possibly.

I reckon sugar ray is probably the only guy that would have been able to hand him a loss around that time though. Mayweather switches tempo, makes adjustments and makes guys fight his fight too well to be beaten by Hagler or Duran.

I think SRL would have had all out wars with most of those fighters. He would have gotten a stoppage at the end of the competitive match-ups. He would have ran from Ortiz because he always runs from punchers. He didnt have the skills to walk him down like Floyd did.

My head is going to explode. What. in. the. actual. ****.

Man o Man i am seeing alot of ****** peoples opinions of why pbf would beat duran and too many biased pbf fans same like the *******s. People saying the version of pbf that beat corrales would demolished duran lol. I guess the Broner vesion that beat Eloy Perez would demolish any ATG lmaol notice the sarcasm lol

i can see that ****** Frank Ducketts bringing up Eloy ****ing Perez when talking about Broner's greatness

[IIG]

Old timers are delusional, ATGs or not.

Because Duran was a great fighter everything he says is fact?

This comment is nonsense, Floyd Mayweather is an all-time great.

Are there fighters that would have beaten him in history? Absolutely, but he would have an impressive winning record in any era.

I think there is a bit of jealousy around Floyd cos he has played the game and treated boxing like a business, very very successfully.

Legacy alone doesn't feed your kids or buy those Bentleys

Your sub-80 IQ psychoanalysis of Floyd means nothing man. Bob Arum came out and told you that Mayweather agreed to fight both Cotto and Margarito under conditions that Arum wasn't willing to meet. The fact that you haters continue to even hype up the disgraced Margarito exposes your agenda and bias. You don't even realize how silly you look, that's the best part of it for me. You're completely unaware that you're a fool. Calling a professional fighter a coward over te Internet? Reevaluate your life man.


When did Cotto cease to be known as a very good body puncher? A big part of Cotto's gameplan was to attack the body. Go back and watch the Cotto fight to see how Mayweather has adjusted to defend against the body attack. Mayweather is a much smarter more experienced fighter now compared to when he 1st fought Castillo.

Lmaol dude are you ****ing ******ed??? I told you a good body puncher that has a good chin. If you go back to the fight cotto didn't attack the body cause he started to get tagged in the face. Is the cotto vs marg 1 remember how people said margs weakness was the body did cotoo use that?? No cause he kept getting tagged in the face when you go to the body you pay the price of getting hit in the face but only boxers with good chin prevail. Remember taylor chavez talr was pissing blood weeks after. Like i said again i will tell you name me a good body puncher with a good chin and stop saying cotto he has a weak chin and not only that he was damage goods by pac. I mean is cotto the bedt you can do?

OMFG


log off and watch wrestling...never ever ever claim to be a boxing fan again



and this is coming from a Leonard hater

I know you hate to admit that, but SRL didnt have the skillset to walk guys down like that. His defense was HORRIBLE. He relied souly on footwork to get away from punches. He relied on handspeed to overwhelm foes. You cant sum Floyd up with just those two attributes.

[flint]

i agree with duran. but in his own era.he's not ordinary because his ass quit (no mas no mas). and thats something mayweather will never do in any era.
