So a guy who doesn't have the discipline to stay in shape can go up and quit during a super fight because of a tummy ache or get destroyed in 2 rounds and we're supposed to say "this guy is great, he wouldn't have lost those if he was in shape and fighting at his best weight". The fuck is that shit?

Beast mostly nobodies at LW, got outboxed an embarrassed on multiple occasions, VASTLY overrated.
What's your hate with duran? He beat some solid fighters and lightweight and beat some good fighters at higher weights. You need to realize that most of his losses were way past his prime and way above his original weight. A fighter like duran usually has tons of problems going up in weight because their power doesn't carry. It's usually easier for lighter hitters to go up because they don't rely on power. Duran still did well at higher weights and fought fighters at those weights were way better than anyone Floyd fought.

I don't see mayweather beating Leonard, hearns, or hagler. I think he has tons of trouble with Benitez too. Also, Floyd couldn't last like duran did. Floyd isn't very durable and is fortunate boxing during a time when he could fight twice a year. His hands probably wouldn't hold up otherwise. This isn't a bashing mayweather post because I think that he is a great fighter but I just think that duran is better.
