The art of Infighting is a lost art

[Manos de Piedra]

Interesting post.
I do think Mayweather was a better fighter down at those weights than he is now but I wouldn't be wise of him to try to go on the inside against Duran. His best chance would be to box and stay on his bike.

Right, and when I say Mayweather would get the best of Duran on the inside, I'm not saying Floyd would win a Castillo/Corrales style fight against Duran where it's fought in a phone booth. That would favour Duran.

But if they fought prime for prime, I believe Floyd would have a lot easier shutting down Duran's inside offence then people would think.

I see where you're coming from.
I do believe if Floyd sat down more on his punches he would stop guys and give us more entertaining fights. Like he showed with those body shots in the 11th but it seems like us boxing fans believe more in Floyd than he does in himself or maybe he's just so defensive minded that he doesn't think any sort of risk is worth it.

Floyd is a outside fighter by jumping just as the opponent is coming in.

There is a whole lot of that which makes up the real skill of boxing that could be considered a lost art.
