Duran : In My Era, Mayweather Would Have Been Ordinary

[IamInuit]

You made a list. That's it. You offered no proof. I could make the same kind of list for anyone including the holy grails and not to offend but the list is laughable and must have been passed as some kind of truth when this site was full of impressionable teenagers. Its like going to a phone booth and randomly picking names according to the alphabet and then claiming they are ones friends. Based on the pretzel logic displayed its pretty clear that everybody is ducking everybody all the time.

If I have to edit this post again ...

I know that several men on that list are future 1st ballot Hall-of-Famers that fought each other when they were at their best in their primes, and multiple rematches at that, such as Pacquaio, Barrera, Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez.

For Floyd's elite Hall-of-Fame-worthy opponents in their primes, it goes:
Corrales 2001.
Hatton 2007.
Marquez 2009 (*called up 2 weight classes though, and Floyd came in overweight)
Guerrero 2013.

Recent developments are very good that Floyd has decided to fight top opponents again.
The dude can shine like gold when he fights top prime opponents, but unfortunately he spent much of the past 9 years fighting 2nd tier fighters or guys that were called up in weight or beginning the downslide.
Floyd's style is very good for longevity. Well- schooled technician. Even when the reflexes slow down a bit, a good skillful technician can still outbox younger dudes.

Asked and answered about 20 times since I have been a member here and by several members. Same bullshit list only smaller.

Back to the topic. Floyd's about as ordinary as Roberto was.
