Yeah, that's what happens when two equals step in the ring. Duran was able to bring the fight out of Sugar Ray Leonard in their first bout.
Mayweather and Pacquiao was a superfight because people made Pacquiao out to be something more than he actually was. He couldn't force Mayweather's hand so he got thoroughly outboxed for the world to see.

wow.... are you from a special education class? or just another biased african american? Dude the fight was 5 years late and floyd making the "we dont negotiate with bob arum" "Pacquiao needs to be tested because his head it too big and he goes through cotto and margarito"..... Nobody made pacquiao be something he is not.... Is just that floyd waited for the perfect time to fight a washed up congressman.

But look at the result in this fight. He lost. Yet in the 2nd and 3rd fight SRL pretty much did everything people criticize Floyd for to ensure a victory (clinching, jabbing, keeping away for most of the round) because when he tried to fight with him for 15 rounds, he lost an got rocked multiple times. Boxing was the smart thing to do against a relentless bully like Duran.
If there's anything different about Leonard aside from size and power, it's his willingness to finish. Put him in Floyd's shoes against Guerrero or Cotto and he would have taken them out in the late rounds where they were pretty much asking for it. BUT when he couldn't do it like Duran III for example, he fought the same exact fight as Floyd.
Hopefully there will be a time in the future where this is normal again.
Don't talk crazy man. It's not about P4P prime fighters squaring off anymore. What fans want to see now is PPV numbers and career high purses. That's what gets their juices flowing
