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

[I Love Jesus!]

Anyone who believes Floyd would just outright not last in any era is just a flatout hater and refuses to believe that he's as good as he really is. The only guy I think beats Floyd no matter how many times they fight is Tommy, and that's only because of the size difference, other than that, I think Floyd is one of the most skilled fighters this sport has ever seen and if you disagree with that you just don't like him and don't care to judge him objectively. He's one of, if not the most talented fighter ever. Not the greatest, but definitely the most talented.

No u just dont understand that Floyd looks better because he is not displaying his skills verse the best when they are at their best because he always manages to excuse or retire his way out of those fights. Looking great against Guerrero is not the same as looking great againts Tsyzu Pac Margarito ect ect at their peak. Floyd only fights guys after they've been softened up or not at all.

Do you remember castillo how he pounded the body on the first fight??? Thats floyds weakness

Yes because Floyd hasn't made any adjustments and is susceptible to the same **** that Castillo did over a decade ago. Good point.

But throwing bs punches at Floyd's shoulders and arms, will get you countered and beat up really bad. Duran isnt the first one who thought of that plan. Even when Ortiz tried to throw at Floyd's shoulder, Floyd would tilt his arm, causing the punches to glance off and not really land solid. I really dont know how to beat Floyd if I really thought about it. The gameplan has already been thought of and failed once too many times.

I don't find it wise to compare Ortiz to Duran, but that's just me.

Most ppl forget about the second fight build up against srl and how out of shape Duran was. He didn't want that fight.

Also Duran was the first guy in haglers title ti go the distance in a close competitive fight. And this dude was a light weight fighting arguably the best middle weight of all time.

Duran smashes Floyd easily.

Ray was definitely gaining momentum, but against a fighter like Duran, who routinely made dramatic rallies late in fights, that means d*ck. I don't discredit Ray's win whatsoever. It was a fantastic performance and one he should obviously be quite proud of. I'm just saying that it's laughably absurd to continue to spout the "Ray boxed circles around him" bull**** that teenage twits in NSB routinely spout about that fight despite never having seen it.

Also, I'm a grown man. Talk to me like one. You're supposed to be 45, FFS.

THANK YOU.

That fight was not the shut out domination people try to remember it as. That's why Duran quitting was so inexplicable and looked down upon so harshly. No one understood why he just walked away from a fight he could still have won.

Can't green you or I would.

And I'm supposed to take you serious;y? the guy that has JMM rated #1 p4p...ahead of the guy who completely whipped his ass and embarrassed him? lol..

anyway, talk to the 3 judges who said Floyd won the fight against Castillo, not me. I had it close, but can respect those who gave it to Castillo barely. Draw is about right imo.

But Floyd beat Oscar 8-4. Most of Oscars punches weren't landing cleanly and was a bunch of crowd exciting nothing which probably influenced people, including the one judge that actually gave the fight to Oscar, which btw, is the only judge in Floyd's entire career to give a decision to the other guy.


Think about that for a minute. That is some dominant shidt, my man.

Lmaol whats wrong with JMM at the #1 P4P at the age of 40 he knocked the **** out of the #1 #2 p4p guy. Who did pbf beat as of late guererro and cotto?? let me see you value pbf beating as JMM as solid when JMM didn't have no business fighting him and on top getting cheated on weight?? Would like to know how would pbf do against Ward and gets cheated out of weight. Pbf can't even face a not dangerous fighter yet at 154??? Like i said stop being biased or remove pbf nutsack from your eyes and can see reality.

Pbf is one of my favorite fighters but i am not biased just speak the truth unlike you lmaol who is proud of PBF>JMM

Mayweather is a fighter that would be great in any era.

Floyd that fought Corrales beats any version of Duran that ever existed. Too much movement, speed, quickness, versatility and ring acumen. Plus DISCIPLINE to stick to the same gameplan throughout the bout.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

anybody that has floyd #1 welter at all time is beyond ******....

Please name me the top welters he beat,,, no margs, cotto, manny, bradley I would consider those guys to be along with floyd the top 5 welters of this era.....

Hell donald curry would ko all these guys...

SRL beat undefeated prime hearns....

Does anyone remember when it was oscar, tito, pernell, ike,, and shane at welter,,

But i know,, we are in the golden age of welters, with ghost, ortiz, floyd, maidana, alexander, khan
