Could Floyd Mayweather have took the shot Hearns sparked Duran with?

Nobody from 154 and down could take that shot....He'd have kayoed some guys at 160 and 168 with that shot if it landed like it did on duran...flush, quick, on the sweet spot and full torque.

Floyd never let the world know, and left everyone wondering. He rarely fought anyone with physical advantages in reach and height. Didn't he fight a big guy in Canelo? Well it was a CW and the guy was about 5ft 8 or 9, which is hardly a giant..

You can sit up here and say fighter X would lose to an old school fighter like Ray Robinson all day, but the fact remains, no one knows unless they actually fight. It's just like you bloggers on here always complaining about fights but don't know how good the fight will be until they are actually in the ring cc Madaina Mayweather 1

It's been pointed out that nobody knows the answer to questions like this. All you can do is guess at the answer. In real life no boxer ever knocked Mayweather down in his long career of fighting excellent boxers. Mayweather has a proven great chin. The punch Hearns hit Duran with was as hard a punch as I've ever seen and I don't think any boxer in that weight class could remain standing after taking that punch square on the jaw.

I guess it's factual-Floyd is nowhere nears Hearns, same way Leonard, Duran and Hagler are not either.

At 154 and down other guys Hearns didn't spark out were Mike Colbert, Alfonso Haymon, Ernie Singletary and Luigi Minchillo....these guys were several levels below Floyd
You have to land the right shot to kayo a fighter....but we'll never know

Originally posted by boliodogs View PostYou need to work on your spelling and grammar. No, Mayweather could not take that punch. It was a much harder punch than the punch Mosley badly hurt Mayweather with. Mayweather has a good chin but not good enough to take the monster punch Hearns hit Duran with. Duran had a great chin and that punch knocked him out cold for a long time. It would do the same thing to Mayweather.
As for the rest of your post I agree 100% 👍
