The case for floyd higher on ATG list than Duran

[tonysoprano]

Duran - undisputed champ at 135 for 8 years.
Beat best WW in the world at 147
Won LMW title at 154
Fought best MW in the world at 160 and narrow points loss.

Then at 37 years old won the world MW title beating a feared and huge MW at 160.

What did Floyd do at 160?

Duran best wins
Leonard

You are aware Duran can beat that list on the same night. Duran Beat Barkley no one on that list including Floyd would beat Barkley, He beat Davey Moore again no one on that list beats Moore, Duran beat Leonard no one on that list including Floyd beats Leonard, Duran beat Pippino Cueavas no one on that list beats Pipino , Floyd would have his hands full with Pipino specialy if Floyd got beat by Castillo and Madiana. Pipino was a much deadly puncher than Castillo or Madaina. Seems to me you no nothing about boxing a Roger Mayweather quote my suggestion is go look at the list of people Duran fought and look at their fights cause you need to study before you post or you will look ******

Both fought in vastly 2 different eras so the comparison doesn't really make any sense. Duran might have a greater win against Leonard than any of Floyd's opponents but Floyd fought and easily dominated a lot more champions and top level guys over a longer period of time at the top of the P4P list than Duran.

Plus when Duran fought there was no drug testing in boxing and fighters used to be roided out of their damn minds in the 70s and 80s, but when Floyd fought he probably took advantage of the advancements of trainingd and nutrition, both have their cases and both were great, Floyd was the absolute greatest of his era, Duran is one of the all time greats, let's just leave it at that.

the older the footage is the more overrated the fighter becomes. if its in black and white that fighter was a GOD. if theres no footage at all he was the best. lol.

"Sugar Ray Robinson could knock out 5 men with a jab" nostalgic ass mofos.

Floyd is way higher than Duran all time. no debate.

Floyd beat legendary Berto that's all that counts.
You didn't need to list those others.

Berto would KO Leonard in a round i bet.

119 fights to 50 fights. It doesn't get any more definitive than that.

Duran's best wins, with some context:

1. Sugar Ray leonard - went up from lightweight to beat one of the greatest welterweights ever
2. Iran Barkley - at 37 beat a giant middleweight
3. Ken Buchanan - after beating Buchanan would go on to be undefeated at lightweight for 6 years
4. Davey Moore - Moore was a 5-2 favorite
5. Esteban Dejesus x2 - Avenged his first career loss
6. Pipino Cuevas - former WW champ
7. Carlos Palomino - former WW champ

Duran has the better wins. Only thing Floyd has over him is being undefeated.
