You can't truly believe this. :dwillhuh:

I question the amount of boxing you've watched

He couldn't handle Leonard's speed and ability, and somehow he's going to handle the master of the shoulder roll, the Don Dada of hit and don't get hit? Let's be reality here:


Lost to Leonard multiple times
Lost to Hector Camacho
Lost to Hagler
Lost to Benitez
Got KTFO by Hearns

What's his claim to fame, split decision fight with Barkley? The one person who could talk sh*t is Sugar Ray, not this guy. This guy would be saying no mas in the 5th round after whiffing against Money May. Let's not take what pundits say as facts, let's look at what he's actually done.

I get it breh, you're a Duran fan. I'll let it go.

Not really. But Duran is 5x the fighter Ricky hatton is. Much more skilled, much better defensively. I don't see floyd stopping Duran at all. :leostare:

duran;s quittin ass would get whooped by mayweather so i don't no what his angle is:bryan:
mayweather wouldn't be just another guy in any era
i see him beating SRL
hearns would give him some trouble (hearns is everything people act like paul williams is) would be a toss up

mayweather makes adjustments better den mayb any boxer in history
Dat's why he could compete with anyone. that's truly what makes him elite
one style or one gameplan is not beating him
That stamina is the FIRST thing that makes him elite. Floyd might be the greatest conditioned athlete ever, no bullshyt (obviously he'd have mad competition for that slot but he'd most definitely have an argument for it).

Uh, Durans claim to fame is that he cleaned out the lightweight division and has won titles in 4 different divisions. Hes the GOAT lightweight, no debate.

He beat SRL the 1st time and while everybody is quick to point out the 2nd fight, people conveniently forget how close it was before he quit.

And why even bring up the Camacho loss when Duran was way past his prime :snoop:
