I don't think people understand, not only was Roberto Duran the greatest lightweight ever....he was one of the greatest pound for pound boxers OF ALL-TIME.

If Jose Luis Castillo can trouble Floyd, if Ricky Hatton can last 11, if Mosley and Judah can hurt him....then you've got to expect at any weight Duran gives Floyd the fight of his life!

Ray Leonard could match Floyd's speed and Ray could brawl too...I think it would be a very interesting matchup.

Hearns was just a deadly weapon and with his jab and huge right cross, I'm not certain how Floyd lives with that over 12-15 rounds.


The problem Floyd has is Hearns, Duran, and Leonard were all in the same era...Floyd hasn't had that luxury (or setback) to add or subtract from his career.
