Duran-Leonard 2..was this running or master boxing

[joseph5620]

Why can't we have one thread on NSB without Floyd's name being mentioned?

This was a good topic to have a legitimate boxing discussion and it got ruined 2 pages in.

If the topic was " War in Iraq" Mayweather's name would have come up in one form.or another.

Why do I get the whiff in this thread of 'If Leonared a bonafied ATG in many eyes can do it and people call it masterful boxing then my idol Floyd shouldn't be called a runner'. This thread stinks of a scheme to try and justify what pretty boy has done.

Floyd dont run as much as no damn SRL stop lying. Floyd is more of a stand down masterboxer. He ran in both Madana fights, but against Nelo, Mosley, Ortiz, he walked them big guys down like it was nothing.

He shoulder rolled the shiat out of Nelio. SRL didnt have the skills to do what Floyd did, he just didnt. So he ran WAAAY more and people dont talk about it just because he's a past ATG!!

Embarrassing logic. It's clear that this guy has never played a sport in his life.

That's what competition and sports are all about. Taking away what the other guy is good at. Negating advantages. It's called strategy. Concept. Execution.

Go back to your cheetos dinner blanco.

Are you ****in ******ed? You capitalize on advantages in the ring. A standard ring. You don't make a football field bigger to capitalize on a great passing game.

Hell, they might have just as well rapped ring ropes around the state of Texas.

I would have to say it was getting Duran in the ring when he was at his worst shape near 200lbs. He was flat on fight night. Had Duran dicipline himself after the first fight, and came prepared for the rematch, i think we would've seen a fight just like the first one.

So Duran shot himself in the foot?

Floyds a runner boxer and so is Leonard. Only difference is Leonard would go to toe with anyone because he had that pride. Floyd won't, he has no pride, he's all about money, his brand, and his record.

I remember you compared Floyd vs journeyman Maidana 1st fight to the war that Duran and Leonard had in their 1st fight. Tsk Tsk Larry.

SRL never went toe to toe and he ran way worse than Floyd. Toe to toe is what Floyd did to Canelo's bigazz. He walked him down like it was nothing. SRL ran around the ring from herns with that scared facial expression and once he realized he could hurt Herns, he had an exaggerated mean face like he's billy bad azz! He won that fight like a sucker with all that extra shiat!

Imagine if they had the internet back then

The internet is like a gun. It isn't bad unless the person using it is a complete and utter ******ed ****.

I can only imagine what senior gong and some of these posters parents/grandparents would have said.

Duran was unable to cut the ring off,why is that?

duran took a dive. he wanted a rubber match payday.

sugar gay ain't on duran's level.

well you can bet it wouldn't have turned into a clinch fest, you actually had to move in those days, if you gas now you gotta fight

nowadays you get the runner, and for some reason clinching is acceptable, and refs just love getting their moment of fame breaking fighters every 20 seconds, i mean if they didn't seperate them every time they got into shoulder touching proximity, we'd forget they exist
