    Obviously, duran took all the challenges.

    What challenge does floyd need to make him duran(isk)
    I like the Alvarez fight, I don't like the catchweight, especially after Floyd didn't bother making the weight vs JMM and he gave Pac all that shit about catchweight fights and I'm no Pac fan either but fair is fair. If you're going to give a guy shit for having catchweight fights don't fucking turn around and make one for yourself, it's hypocritical.

    I'd like Floyd vs Martinez or Floyd vs Pac...not that I'm a fan of Floyd, Pac, or Martinez but as a boxing fan those are big event fights. Floyd simply doesn't have the Leonard's, Hearns', and Duran's to fight....to his credit he did fight Shane & Oscar albeit at the end of their careers but those were still big wins.

    Duran was a workhorse his record is 103-16, he took quite a few challenges he also fought long after his prime was over. I don't want or expect Floyd to do either of those things, I just want him to fight the best available fighters out there on a level playing field. That last part is just pertaining to ring size, catchweights, etc I have never and would never accuse Floyd of any underhanded tactics.

    Finally, an answer instead of insults.

    Canelo wanted the catchweight and floyd agreed. Either way, i dont agree with catchweights anyway.

    Floyd IS fighting the best available fighters AND he is the first (i think in boxing) to bring in the olympic style testing to make both fighters on an even playing field.

    You mentioned the competition as in theres not the leonard, hearns or durans of today but just because the rounds are shorter and theres more money involved does not mean these guys that put on the same boxing equipment and mouth guards are any less.

    Lets find a comparable four fighters that could give these 80s legends a challenge..

    @Onetime, I have to ask....where's all the vitriol you used to throw my way under your other screen names? Have we grown out of that then?
