Dont forget that PBF takes away jabs. He is one of the best at it. I have never seen anyone out Jab Floyd in a fight and I dont think anyone ever will.
Esteban De Jesus knocked Duran down at 135 and he was not big puncher, I guess you don't know much about Duran, he was tough to hit cleanly, his chin was good, but it was not a great chin.
Both De Jesus knockdowns were of the first round "flash" variety. Duran quickly got up and finished the fight.
Duran's chin was not completely iron clad but it was very very good. Other than Hearns' perfect shot (at middleweight no less, a shot that arguably would've knocked out anyone), he was never KO'd. And he took some monster shots from Barkley (who was a huge middleweight with big power) and never went down. I said it before, I do not see how PBF could hurt Duran at lightweight.

A fight that Floyd won every round.
He may have gone down, but he got up. So ok it was a good chin, he had good/great defence.
Floyd won the fight against Vargas but didn't win all the rounds. And even in rounds he won, Vargas had his share of clean shots landed on Floyd. I was amazed when i finally got to see the fight, cause i had heard many times over by the hbo team that Vargas put up a good fight and they weren't kidding. And as i mentioned this was a jr. featherweight who probably even started at a lower weight class.
yah Gatti is no welterweight. At the most he's a 140lb fighter.
His power is slightly overrated. He KO'd tons of smaller guys.
eg. Gamache, Leija, Dorin, Munoz, Millet all dramatic KO's and all much smaller fighters.
Probably the only one i give him credit of ko that was impressive was his ko of Leija, though i think Leija was getting up and the ref then stopped the fight.
Gamache had a glass chin, Millet had a weak chin, Munoz looked like they got him for the audience, Dorin was a body shot who came back to fight with no fire in him.

Don't tell me you thought Duran won the fight against Benitiz.
I've watched the fight but never scored it, and what i ment is Benitez and Mayweather bring in two differnt boxing styles. Benitez can stand right in front of you and make you miss punchs, while Mayweather uses his legs to get him out of danger.
