Berto
Marquez
Hernandez
Hoyas

Duran best wins
Leonard

Ban worthy imo.

[buddyr]

lol Berto. And Duran beat other good fighters besides Leonard you know.

Past his prime over 20 years in the sport fought the Blade and not only beat him but knocked him down late. That victory alone is probably greater than anything Mayweather has done.

[buddyr]

Floyd beats every fighter on Duran's resume (with the possible exception of Sugar Ray Leonard.) Duran does NOT beat every fighter on Floyd's resume, though.

Mayweather would handle Duran the way Leonard did in their two rematches. He'd outclass him and make him look stupid.

Floyd aint beating no goddamn Blade. hahaa. I don't know what kind of drugs you are on. He simply wouldn't have the power to get that respect from him. Too big. He aint beating Hearns or Hagler either. Stop it

Duran was the best lightweight of all time. Then he made noise at 147, 154, and even 160. He’s top 5 all time. So is Floyd though. It’s close and they’re both in the mix.

The Mount Rushmore of boxing has 5 faces because boxing is awesome! Duran and Mayweather both are on it IMO. SRR, Ali, and maybe SRL are the other faces.

You think mayweather in the era of 18 weight classes and 4 belts per weight class is better than Hank Armstrong? hahahaha

[buddyr]

Older generation fighters are always over rated. I think BoxRec has the most accurate ATG rankings and Duran is not even in the top25. For some reason fans thinks losses don’t matter when it comes to their favorite fighters lol.

you got to post that haha. I can't imagine Duran not being in anyone top 25. That's beyond unreasonable.

All you've succeeded in doing is reveal how little you know about boxing. By listing leonard as duran's only good win, only means you have not watched duran fight.

If floyd fought all of duran's opponents, he would not be undefeated.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Floyd would have beat Iran barkley at 160?

Floyd would have beat Tommy Hearns? No ****ing way. There is no ****ing way Floyd beats hearns.

Floyd would have beat Hagler? Sugar Ray leonard?

Maybe you should stop posting.

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?

What did duran do at 130?
