I do apply the same standard to floyd and Chavez and Leonard. I will break it down like this. Duran is one of the greats, so is Chavez, so is Mayweather, Leonard etc... I have viewed Duran in action during his prime. I simply do not think beating the fighters he beat at lightweight, allows us to automatically assign Roberto Duran as better than any other fighter that ever lived, especially when we see the repeated ass whipping he got when he traveld north at the age of 29. You say judge Mayweather the same, Mayweather is undefeated at Lightweight, and jr welter, and welter an super welterweight.
Duran lost at lighweight, welter super welter.. all by the age of 33....And still round 1/3 of the fights he fought at lightweight after becoming a champion were a joke,,and you can not find fighters on Mayweather or leonard resume after they became champions that have records of 1-4.
