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

[ThatDude44]

Every fight is safe when you're Mayweather.

People have short memories. What happened to the cries that ODH would batter Floyd? That Mosley would batter Floyd? That JMM would batter Floyd? That Hatton would batter Floyd? That Castillio would batter Floyd? That Baldomir would batter Floyd? People now act like they never stood a chance against Floyd but once upon a time people were screaming that Floyd was afraid of all these people. What happens? He wins, and in most cases makes it look easy, then everyone claims he's been "picking" his opponents even though he has pretty much cleared out every name in his weight range to the extent they're asking him to fight middleweights.

There was a time when the naysayers said he was ducking Berto.

lol WHO turned down a career high purse?

Oh! You mean Floyd, who sabotaged his chance to earn $100mil+, if he would have simply gone under the original terms of 50-50 with Pac, but instead decided to price his own self out of the fight?

Pac didn't deserve 50-50. Floyd. Is the bigger draw mixed with fact that he's undefeated, he should get the bigger share. Floyd gave up all the power to fight De La Hoya, he paid his dues. Pac had his little steroid stretch and was overpriced himself or should I say Arum did. Too bad Manny can never speak for himself. He doesn't have to now cause he's irrelevant.

Pac literally fell into that punch...now you tell me if Floyd would fight a guy 4 times that gave him the type of trouble Marquez did.

The King of Handpicked Fights would never do that...

His days of taking risks were over with the Corrales/Castillo fights...it's all been the easiest guy for the most money since then...

PS: Never posted on here before...this post caught my eye on Twitter so I came on...in case you're so curious

Floyd had trouble with Castillo, too bad he didn't need to fight him 4 times to get his point across. Its called adjustments.

Lol. Duran is just jealous with floyd undefeated record, it was his fault he didn't pick his opponents carefully.

LOL Floyd ****s on Canelo...this is a made-up threat! Floyd has been instrumental in building Canelo as an opponent himself, FOR himself, by letting him on his undercards. Don't think he wasn't planning on leaving Canelo to ripen a little more, to make more money on down the line, he only took this fight now because his money options were limited...

I dont know what Canelo will bring but the Canelo that fought Trout will get smashed. Mayweather may not have knockout power but if Canelos ass get gassed in the 6th like he did, then he may get stopped.

I Saw Both Era's; Duran Is Spot On, Floyd Wouldn't Have Fought ANY Of Those Legends

Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Arguello, Pryor, Benitez.... Floyd would not have lasted with ANY of those guys, and once more he would have stayed in a lighter division, before he'd go up and fight these guys. Seriously, Floyd wouldn't fight Pacquiao, he wouldn't go fight Sergio Martinez in his prime... Floyd would NEVER go fight Hagler, would NEVER have fought Hearns, would have been stopped by Ray Leonard, and the rest. Floyd is no where near the killer types those Legends were. Floyd manufactured a "0", those beforementioned fought each other, multiple times, the best of the best.

in the 70's 80's era Floyd would have been a lightweight champ,, probably beating the hell out of mancini, outpointing alexis arguello in classic bouts, and getting beat up by aaron pryor,,, He would have never fought hearns, srl, etc....

He would have been a really good defensive fighter, along the lines of benitez

yep Floyd is a Cherrypicker and Duran is a true legend

[Reloaded]

Floyd beats 13 of the 16 guys that beat Duran , Leonard Hearns and Hagler are just too good and too big .at 147-160 , 140 is a different matter .

Camacho , Benitez , Paz , Lawlor , Sims , Laing all beat Duran but Floyd cant even box in the class , get out of here lol , Dejesus beat him and was ahead and got caught in the second fight giving Duran loads of trouble and Floyd would box Estebans ears off at LW , you guys are as big of dreamers as you are haters , before you start saying who Floyd cant hang with best you take a look at who beat the guy your hanging your hate on .
