Duran : In My Era, Mayweather Would Have Been Ordinary

[bradlee180]

Floyd has never quit and he has never lost AND he has fought so many different styles!

Since 2002 when Castillo whupped him at 135 and got robbed on the cards, Floyd ducked everyone with a pulse. Started avoiding literally all the best fighters at 135, 140, 147... for literally 9 years! The only legitimate top prime fighter he fought in those years was Ricky Hatton.

It's good that in the last year, he's finally decided to fight some top guys because being known more for who you didn't fight is not the legacy a fighter wants.

Face it, Floyd didn't have the guts that men like Duran, Hagler, Leonard, and Hearns did.

Lol, never get tired of hearing that one.

Highest paid athlete on earth and recogised as the £4£ but he doesnt have the guts like duran.

What does heart and guts mean?

If floyds face looked like rocky or cotto after every fight would that tip the balance in how much heart he has to show in every fight?

If floyd had a few losses or few more close decisons would that help to appreciate what he does anymore compared to how you feel now?

Why on earth would you want to get hit as much as some of the so called legends that you keep mentioning.

Duran and floyd are completely different fighters from different eras but lets just deal with these two and reflect what type of style is a problem for the other.

As someone mentioned we will never know who would win but thats the reason why it can be discussed so many times on forums like these.

Floyd and duran can fight a million times with both being exposed on certain flaws but duran does not deal with frustation very well and floyds style is not the best for him.
