Who is higher on the ATG list: Floyd Mayweather (so far) or Roberto Duran?

[hugh grant]

Floyd's best win is PAC. Never took risks. Historians like fighters who took risks.

That's why Floyd will never be above Duran in any serious poll! Fight GGG already at160. If floydd don't do that there's no point in Floyd fans trying to defend him.

Floyd tried achieving records that people don't care about all whilst not fighting anyone dangerous or risky. Canelo is Floyd's second best win then is it? But when canelo fought Floyd he hadn't any great wins and the cw and canelo didnt particularly win that well against trout and lara. So jhowever you look at it or spin it, its not looking good for floyd

Floyd never took risks.

A boxer will never be considered great unless he takes on the best, even if it's risky.

bwahahahahahah....yea a 21 year old fighting a longtime champion with only 17 fights isnt a risk......


must suck to have waited so long to see him lose and it didnt happen


lineal in 4 out 5 weight classes he competed his, illustrates he did take on the best.....you dont beat 23 former world champions in 49 fights and not have taken risks


bwahahhaahahahahahahahahahaha!

Floyd choosing Andre Berto for his last fight exemplifies his whole "take no risks" career.

You need to lay off the drugs, seriously.

im on drugs but at 140 and below, Duran had 1 loss...to esteban jesus.....after that he was very inconsistent at 147 and up.....imagine if floyd lost to someone like Kirkland lang or robbie sims in his early 30s...."told you he wasnt that good doe, he a bum doe!!!"

keep the nostalgia to yourself and be 100%.....duran was consistent and didnt train his hardest for all his fights and thats part of being a great fighter is preparation

Duran started at bantamweight, he was smaller than Floyd, but won a middleweight title WITHOUT A CATCHWEIGHT.

Look at the poll result.

Berto was a former world champion and only had 3 losses

Mayweather is so good in you guys eyes that you have outlandish expectations.

Manny fought Rios and chris friggin algieri....two dudes who literally did nothing at 147. the ones crying about berto didnt say a peep

Sugar ray leonards last fight was against former 130 champion Hector Camacho...Camacho was years past his prime and far above his best weight....guess that exemplifies he took no risks either

Tysons last fight was kevin mcbride...tyson was a bum too right?


bwahahahahahahaha your trolling sucks

Good for Duran....still doesnt change the fact he lost to de jesus in his prime..nor does it change the fact he took losses to less than stellar opposition at an age where floyd was still beating guys on that level easy

Barkley was a good fighter, but please dont act like it was like Duran fighting Nunn or McCALLUM at the time....Barkley was big, with slow hands and little to no defense.

I couldnt care less about a poll on a forum where posters clique up on other posters, and are more fan boys, or detractors moreso than boxing fans

People said the world was flat...millions did....just because it was many saying so, did it make it true? hell no

You have your own brain, its best to think for yourself.

Duran easly.

Duran never needed an IV injection to clean PEDs out of his body.

And he never demanded an opponent wear gloves with extra padding.
