floyd by wide UD makes duran look like baldomir. duran would have no answer for floyd's defense. floyd would be too smart for him.
Uh....and how long have you been watching the sport? How many Duran fights have you seen?
Nevermind. Go ahead and enjoy. I'm not saying it's impossible for Floyd to have outpointed Duran...damn near; but not not completely. But your post shows that you have no idea of who Duran really was. You're probably judging him off of the Joppy fight or maybe his series with Camacho?
I think Mayw. would not fall into a Leonard 1 type of mistake and it would be entirely possible for him to do the outboxing and the dancing required. Mayw. is showing very complete boxing and articulated gameplans nowadays, in terms of these two things he is as good as anything we have ever seen.
fact is Mayw' is smaller than Leonard (and also fo the grown up version of Benitez), and less powerful than Leonard. Could he keep Duran honest? not so sure. Duran was a beast. A lightweight who hang in for 15 rounds with one of the greatest MWs ever.
I want to see more of mayweather, I dont discount the possibility that he wins it. But I want to see him dig him deep, since you can bet your asses Duran is going to make him dig deep.
Dont make fun of me, but this why I want to see him fight Hatton (although hatton's defense is not nealy's Duran) because is Hatton brings pressure for every minute of the fight, speed and angles. I see this as the only combination who can give Floyd the kind of trouble who will make him dig deep.

Chavez was winning the fight before his corner stopped the fight and even the announcers and hbos ledderman said so.
All those fighters I mentione gave him hell, he beat Vargas but man, did Vargas make Mayweather work for that win. And we already know what Castillo did. Now imagine Duran, being as relentless as Vargas and more skilled then Castillo, thing is Duran is when he wants to be he had it all. So Duran by UD if not by tko.
And yes i aggree its premature to match him up with Duran, because after all, Mayweather is ducking Margarito.
And Benitez is shoulders ahead of Mayweather when it comes to defence and imo, they were both boxers but Mayweather uses his legs, and from what i've seen Benitez can stand in front of you and make you miss all your punchs. Benitez, that guy was a very slick fighter.
I forgot to add that Goyo Vargas was an ex-featherweight, and he gave Mayweather hell. Bullied him at times and got the best of Mayweather. Mayweather had to work for that win.
