    Good call on the bump. I have to say a prime Duran would have beat Floyd's ass last night. It was cool to see Floyd's warrior side though

          Just love your defensive pitter patter puncher and stop trying to compare the two (comparing him to Leonard.)

          Therefore, quit trying to compare the two.

          One is a "G" and one is a "g....I...r...l."

          Think about it buddy....the fact both boxers have the ability to go to war like that.

          You can't compare Mayweather to Leonard, they're not cut from the same cloth. Period.

          And you're right Maywearher needs to stick to his strengths of defense and speed to keep winning.

          If he gets brave he's gonna get his ass knocked out . Period.

          So don't compare him to Leonard. Compare him to Wgitaker or someone

          He is physically unable to perform like that. And has no shown anything remotely close to being able to perform like that.

          If that's being biased then that's what it is.

          I'm biased when someone is trying to compare Mayweather to Leonard. Where as I would be biased if someone tried to compare Broner to Mayweather.

          No ones beating me in the head with this nonsense, I'm not buying it.

          The only people buying it are people who feel that Mayweather is their favorite boxer.

          I just give Mayweather credit where credit is due.

          The fact you feel the need to bring up he has "beaten 20 champions" is irrelevant in what we are talking about, in particular.

          I totally agree with you. Floyd is not built for tough fight after tough fight. He wanted to retire again after the Cotto fight. If that's his idea of not wanting to take punishment, what would Leonard have done to him? Duran? Hearns? Is he a great fighter? Yes. BUT, he's no SRL. Leonard is perhaps the greatest fighter to ever lace up gloves. Just a thought. If Floyd had fought Manny when he was supposed to, it would've been the most grueling fight of his career and he KNOWS it! That is the real reason the fight never happened. Manny doesn't care who he fights, Floyd does. My case in point; Floyd is about to fight a style he's encountered for most of his career, Manny is about to fight a dangerous undefeated fighter who he could actually lose to. Although he clearly won the first fight and he will win the rematch because he's pissed off. LoL. Khan would've been the more dangerous opponent, PERIOD. Floyd is a bully and narcissist. Truth is, his decision to never want to face the best, will haunt him when he retires.

                He would have massaccred him last night.

                I know you're not saying but for the life of me I don't understand why people are comparing at 37 year old, 18 year pro Mayweather to prime ATG's.

                  There were like 60 threads talking about Floyd doesn't have classic fight. Now I wonder what the criticism will be.

                    Leonard fought Duran flat footed.

                      Might be the hats he's wearing nowadays proclaiming himself the best ever... before eeking out a decision over a 12-1 underdog.

                      And at anyone comparing Chino Maidana to Roberto Duran.
