Because I do know, fighting Prime Ali isn't the same as fighting Peter McNeeley that's just common damn sense.
What are you assuming that I'm holding back Onetime?

You said it. What type of challenge must floyd take?
Obviously, duran took all the challenges.
What challenge does floyd need to make him duran(isk)
I like the Alvarez fight, I don't like the catchweight, especially after Floyd didn't bother making the weight vs JMM and he gave Pac all that shit about catchweight fights and I'm no Pac fan either but fair is fair. If you're going to give a guy shit for having catchweight fights don't fucking turn around and make one for yourself, it's hypocritical.
I'd like Floyd vs Martinez or Floyd vs Pac...not that I'm a fan of Floyd, Pac, or Martinez but as a boxing fan those are big event fights. Floyd simply doesn't have the Leonard's, Hearns', and Duran's to fight....to his credit he did fight Shane & Oscar albeit at the end of their careers but those were still big wins.
Duran was a workhorse his record is 103-16, he took quite a few challenges he also fought long after his prime was over. I don't want or expect Floyd to do either of those things, I just want him to fight the best available fighters out there on a level playing field. That last part is just pertaining to ring size, catchweights, etc I have never and would never accuse Floyd of any underhanded tactics.

Never said if you were a GGG fan I suspect you are.
You don't target Wlad or Vitali but you brought them up.
I didn't attack Floyd, I just said he'd never fight someone like Duran because Roberto Duran is the Greatest Lightweight of All-Time and one of the best pound-4-pound boxers in the history of the sport.....those don't come around every day you know. So I wasn't "attacking" Floyd, I was putting Duran in perspective. Floyd being great annoys me? I want you to count how many time that I said Floyd was great in this thread alone....go ahead count 'em up
GGG decent fighter, would I consider myself a fan? No. I was a fan of Tavoris Cloud...rather disappointed he didn't get some title shots sooner, but whatever it happens. I like Joe Hanks too, but he just lost as well. I like Deontay Wilder, I am a Miguel Cotto fan, I liked Andy Lee...race simply isn't an issue with the boxers I like and don't like....hate to disappoint you man :shakehead:

Cut the tomfoolery.The notion that Floyd Mayweather would have "been ordinary" in Durans time, Robinsons time, Gans time or any other time is borderline boxing inept.

But we could all see Floyd avoid fighting Duran at lightweight because he was with Arum, on PED's, not enough money etc
Re: Duran : In My Era, Mayweather Would Have Been Ordinary
@Onetime, I have to ask....where's all the vitriol you used to throw my way under your other screen names? Have we grown out of that then?
Re: Duran : In My Era, Mayweather Would Have Been Ordinary
Honestly i think Mayweather gets crushed by Hearns thats not a great match up for him. I think he loses to Leonard i think Ray was just as good and was far more powerful. Duran i think may get ud most likely at welterweight more so then lightweight. Mayweather vs Benitez would be a bad watch not sure who would win but the fight would be shit. I Think Mayweather is in the top 15 in atg and out of the top guys form the 80's i see Hearns and Leonard beating him. I don't know who brought Wald up but he most likely will be top ten atg heavy if he keeps on winning the way he is.
