Comments Thread For: Arum: Roberto Duran Would Have Kicked Floyd Mayweather's Ass

[PunchyPotorff]

Floyd is the golden standard of Boxing. Y'all compare everything that has to do with boxing to Floyd LMAO half of you wouldn't even post of they didn't talk about Floyd. TBE always got them talking

What would you expect arum to say? Lol come on. Floyd would have him more frustrated than Leonard when he couldn't hit him clean. No Mas in less than 6.

Actually, Floydie would've ducked him til he was less than prime Duran. But if Floydie wasn't fooling everyone and was just the standard rated boxer he should've been, he have gotten his azz handed to him from the opening bell til he was sprawled out on the canvas mid rounds, KO central.

Do you really feel that even with footwork Duran would be able to keep up? I really don't think so. However, it's a nostalgic thing for most who don't want to believe the great old timers couldn't possibly have lost your any current top fighter.

So let's take their worst nights and turn that around. Did Duran win a convincing decision the first time, but then lost the second, while Floyd improved and won the second fight in convincing fashion.

By the way, has Duran ever given a solid reason for his no mas?I've heard all kinds of excuses from the man himself, he quit because he had nothing for Leonard.... plain and simple.

And yet there he is, 49-0, retired and worth almost a billion dollars. Duran is fat, a drunk, and pathological liar, and a quitter, and those facts WON'T change lolol

For all of you who are so Floydantized! Here is one question If Jose Luis Castillo kicked Floyd's ass, what do you guys think Duran would of done?

Floyd is good no denying it, but he is like Chavez, he was in an era where there wasn't much to choose from?

To me Floyd is below Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Duran and maybe Benitez!

Some fans want to show the no mas Duran, forgetting that Duran was the best light weight champion ever, that Duran on his 1st fight with Leonard was unbeatable, on that night no one could of beating Duran!

Tell me one night that you said WOW! Floyd beat a heck of a fighter on his prime and considered the best of his time?

At Lightweight, he probably would have beaten Floyd since Floyd had some tough fights at 135lbs. But at 140, 147 and 154, Floyd would be favoured.

Promoting = Lying

When Arum was promoting Floyd, then he said Floyd was one of the greatest ever to have stepped in the ring. He started bad-mouthing Floyd as soon as Mayweather left Top Rank. The same with Oscar.

Promoting involves lying, which means we can disregard anything these guys say. They will say anything to make money.

You have to give Bob Arum credit- he started the propaganda of Floyd being afraid of Margarito and Manny and actually fooled millions into believing such nonsense. This was right after he claimed Floyd was the greatest boxer he'd seen since Ray Leonard.

NOW HOLD ON

at the time leanord fought duran, duran was WAYYY passed his prime, floyd would of had a much easier time . Now put prime duran against both he kills them.
