    Floyd has never been in a Leonard vs Duran 1 type fight

    He wouldn't make it, he's not built like that, his chin wouldn't hold up, he's toooooo fragile. He almost got his head knocked off by Shane Moseky, imagine if Hearns caught him, he'd be taking a dirt nap.

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

    Do you think Leonard wanted to be in that type of fight?

      It wasn't as brutal or great a fight, but Castillo sure did a job of roughing Floyd up and keeping him from fighting the fight he wanted. So I'd argue that's his Duran 1.

          Dude, you're referencing a fight that's a once a decade type of fight between two fighters in their absolute prime.

            That's not the point, the point is Leonard gets down like that against Roberto f.uckin Duran, the most feared puncher of his time and nearly beat him. Floyd wouldn't even get down like that with Roberto f.uckin Guerrero an essential "no name" in regards to being a puncher.

            Therefore, quit trying to compare the two.

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

              Mayweather vs Cotto was that type of fight. Besides why does Floyd need to be in that type of fight if he can easily outbox guys from the outside? Hell, even Leonard changed up his style for the second fight and routed Duran easily by outboxing him from the outside.

                DUDE, what do you think made it a once in a decade type of fight?

                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.

                  Lmao Mayweather vs Cotto was that type of fight. Mayweather Cotto isn't even a top 100 fight of all time.

                  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

                    Well first off, Mayweather has never and will probably never face a Duran caliber fighter. The reason being because there is no Duran caliber type fighter today.
