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

[Ganondorf]

Floyd wouldn't have been "ordinary" in any era. Duran was a great fighter, but the fact that he scored the Floyd-Oscar fight a draw tells me how credible this opinion is.

[al-Xander]

not entirely true. He wouldn't be undefeated as I'm pretty certain Hearns would have beat him but he would have still been elite

Ducking the fights the fans wanted you to fight is not an elite thing to do.

Prime Thomas hearns would have beat floyd, there for floyd should watch his mounth and not claim to be GOAT

Prime hearns is dangerous for any fighter in any era lol

Dude is not the best i could do is a fact. Since 11 years have passed he hasnt faced a good body puncher with good chin. There is a reason when pbf selects his opponents he avoids that thpe of fighter. And i do understand floyds shoulder injury but that is part of the game not because he was injured he deserved to be saved by the judges. Same like with berto which it looked like he was going to be saved until soto knocked his ass out. I admired bertos courage and heart but that shoulder injury is part of the game if bertos shoulder would of been healed i taught he would of won that fight maybe ko karas.

Ghost is a GREAT body puncher with a good chin. I felt Floyd would end up losing for going to the ropes and fighting on the inside. Floyd took that away by clinching on the insides, and when he got to the ropes, he just kept moving. As far as the shoulder injury, no one said it was right for Castillio to be robbed. Your trying to be very slick right now with your words. What we're saying is that you cant act like Castillio had some brilliant gameplan to beat Floyd. Nothing he did beat Floyd except throwing punches at an injured fighter who wasnt throwing any back. If we want to talk about who's the better fighter, talk about the rematch when both guys where healthy. In that fight Castillio's magnificent gameplan was ill-affective Im afraid.

How a bout the castillo 1? And he has his opinion on dlh vs pbf probBly he doesn't like the firhter that runs too much and throws like 15-20 punches per round. Remember he is old school where the challenger takes the belt from the champ

he probably just watched that fight once without scoring it thru the rounds and just called it a draw.

Guerero is a good body puncher????? He might go to the body once in a while did he tried that with floyd?? Since when has ghost been known for his great body work he is known for being tought and bringingthe fight to you. Like i said does pbf winning the rematch justify. The loss he should of had on his record

[MurkaMan]

Sure you did.

Boy ya better ask around. I was the only one hear saying Floyd would lose. Everyone hear thought he would be counterpunching on the insides, shoulder rolling and all that jive. I KNEW that he would lose if he did any of that. He didnt. NO one expected him to use footwork like that. Thats the reason he dominated. The Mayweather who fought Shane, JMM, Ortiz would have had a tough night. But the Floyd who fought Cotto would have flat out LOST!

Ghost is an EXCELLENT inside fighter, and he beats the SHIET out of the body. He couldnt do that with Floyd because Floyd took it away from him by clinching him on the inside. Floyd did NO inside fighting with Ghost.
