Duran sounds a lil salty. Mayweather would have certainly had a tougher time back then but his defense, speed and ring generalship would have had him in with the SRL, Hagler's, Hearn's and so forth. He would have had to be more aggressive. But seriously though. Duran quit against SRL in the rematch "No mas" will be remembered more than Mayweather.Comment

You have absolutely taken the very words from my mouth. you must be a mind reader. less than an hour ago I was on the verge of writing this very same thing that Mayweather Senior was as good as Jr. or, in my opinion a bit better, but the level of competition that was around gave him some bad losses, (I'd thought of this before but never put it in a post), and that it would have been the very same for Jr. Except, of course we all know that Jr, would never have fought these opponents, but would have hung around on the periphery and picked off a fading name here and there... You and I both think exactly alike on this.Duran is correct, and not hating. The type of fighting that Floyd JR. employs was very relevant in those times. ( the shoulder roll is one of the oldest types of defense that has been lost for a while, until Floyd brought it back. If you look at the old boxers, they are all using it. ). The ****ers like Duran were used to tha style, and knew how to beat it. If you look at the fighters of that, and earlier era's, They were non stop. They never took a break, and would never let Floyd, nor any other guy pot shot, and fight only when he felt like it. They would be forced to fight all 3 minutes of every round. I think Floyd Jr would be a good fighter in any era, but just good. I honestly don't think he is better than His own Dad, and While Floyd SR was very good, He was nowhere near the best, and got beat bad by SRL, and would have also been beaten by any of the top 10 fighters of the day if He stayed with it. In my opinion Floyd JR. Would fare about the same, or worse. Take a look at Floyd Sr. vs SRL, or any Floyd SR. fight and you'll see that He was probably better than his Son.Comment

Pac dont have to be in a discussion. He has already did so much in boxing. More than Floyd has or can ever do. I dont care if Manny ever fights again. In the last two decades hes done more than any fighter of this era. In and out of the ring. Its pretty sad if you Google image the word " Chicken" you will see in images a pic of Floyd Mayweather! :WORD: Thats messed up! Just saying...it is what it is.Comment
