At 135 Duran beats everyone and 147 vs PBF it's interesting, but I tell you, as good as Floyd is at winding people up Roberto Duran was better. When Leonard-Duran 1 happened, SRL thanked Duran for making the fight happen and Roberto promptly cursed at SRL and spit at his wife. I think Duran is too tough for Floyd, solid inside fighter, top notch boxer, great chin, and could play dirty with anyone...just ask Buchannan.
As for Floyd vs SRL...it's a tough call. Floyd's defense is better, but Ray's offense was very good. Quick hands, great combination puncher, great speed, underrated pop. If Shane Mosley can catch and hurt Floyd then I think Ray can finish it off.
I will say this, if Tommy Hearns caught Floyd with a clean shot the way Judah and Mosley have it would be GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART!
Floyd vs Whittaker is one that's tough to call as well.
Floyd will be compared to all these guys from here on...he's a top notch fighter, I don't like his attitude, but there's no denying his skill.
