    Default Re: Duran : In My Era, Mayweather Would Have Been Ordinary

    Okay, this is pretty simple. You can't say Duran belonged in that group and then excuse his losing by saying he was too small for them. Was Duran too small for Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, and Benitez? If so, then he doesn't belong in that group because he was too small. We'll all just agree that he kept losing to them because he gave up too much size. Fine no problem. We'll keep Duran in the lightweight discussions. But for those who want to include him in that group or say that it doesn't matter if you sign up to fight then you can't use size as an excuse afterwards then lets look at that. So we then include Duran in that group and see that he was 1-5 against them. That's below ordinary. Did he really belong in that group? If so, then explain that record. And to be fair to Duran the article headline fudged what he said. Writers do that a lot. That's how they get you to view. There is no accountability. Duran basically was stating that Floyd would be just another guy amongst that group and not a standout. He didn't say Floyd would just be an ordinary fighter in his era.
