Holmes never got the respect he deserved. Even after being floored by one of the hardest hitters in the game in earnie shavers and still coming back to win the fight.

Duran has a great chin, power and heart (when he doesnt quit) but the slick style of floyd would be too much for him and floyd would be left to battle it out with leonard and hearns for that top spot.
OK, so allow me to get this straight. With Duran you're saying and I quote

"Exactly.

Thats the point.

No one would ever know"

But with Wladimir you're saying with certainty, no doubts, 100% sure that he'd lose to Larry Holmes.


Do you kinda sorta see how that might, maybe, just possibly perhaps be a bit hypocritical?


The problem you have @imp is that the only person trying to completely discredit a fighter here is YOU. You're attempting to discredit Wladimir Klitschko and in bringing him up to begin with you've lost the argument because you've veered so far off topic. This is about what Roberto Duran said about Floyd Mayweather Jr why does Wlad factor into this? Why bring him up? Just because someone suggests Floyd would have struggled vs some of the greatest fighters ever, in one of the deepest divisions ever....you're THAT upset about a tiny bit of criticism?

OK guys, new rule, no more saying anything remotely negative about Floyd Mayweather Jr., his fans can't take it
