Duran legacy?

Looks like wildly differing opinions on here. I can't see a knowledgeable boxing fan dissing Duran. That's an automatic YDKSAB right there. On the other hand, and I'm no Floyd fan.... he was thoroughly outclassing Hatton in their fight and would've beaten him ref or no ref. I'm not willing to give Hatton a pass on this one. Hatton TWICE insisted that he deserved to be world's p4p #1 if he could only get past his opponent. We know what happened against Floyd, and we SURELY know what happened against Pacquiao.

Duran is just as skilful and as much a ring Einstein as Floyd. It's just the opposite style. If you think what Duran does is not amazing skill, natural talent and ring genius you're missing the big picture.

Take ten minutes to watch this "art."

No one is ignoring the skills of Duran I just think that prime for prime he would loose to floyd.

Its all fantasy stuff anyway..but styles make fights and floyd would frustrate duran more than ever.

I agree Lil Floyd would be too loose for 135/140lbs Duran and would get caught and finished in the middle to late rounds, unless he has a proper ticker, in which case he would take a frightful beating in dropping the decision.
