Duran : In My Era, Mayweather Would Have Been Ordinary

[imp]

For all his finesse and ability Floyd has not fought the one guy from this era who has some similarities to Duran. Hell, he even looks like him a little with his beard and all. Manny will be remembered as being anything but ordinary. Roberto is doing FMJ a disservice by calling him ordinary but Floyd has only himself to blame for history maybe not looking as kindly on his legacy as he would wish. Pacquiao fought Cotto 3 years before Floyd was willing to, he looked way more impressive against Hatton and Oscar, he fought Margarito, he was willing to fight people like Morales and Barrera earlier in his career, even though they were very dangerous and he had to rematch Morales twice to avenge his first defeat and prove it was no fluke. So yes there are boxers today who are not so obsessed with keeping their 0 that they take an obsessively safety first route their whole career.

Nobody is calling Floyd a bum, he is certainly an ATG but he is a long way from being as great as he thinks he is, and that is primarily his fault.

Good to see this thread ending on pac.

After all the opinions it turns out that floyd never fought a duran of this era which is manny pac.

Manny will never be ordinary and he fought every single top tier fighter at the right time and never ducked anyone.

Manny and duran are flawless and are the true atg.

The fact that floyd/manny never fought must be only floyds fault and floyds whole career has be based on this one fighter.

Great stuff.

Ps:- Every single boxer on earth wants to keep there 0..wouldnt you?
