I think that would make the dif. i pick mayweather by ud.
In Leonard/Duran 1, Ray went toe to toe with Duran. If your putting Floyd in a toe to toe catagory with Duran, I think you're way off. You cant classify Floyd and Duran in the same catagory.

Dare I say, Floyd would get pasted going toe to toe with Duran. Then again he would whip Duran much the same way Leonard did in the Leonard/Duran 2. When Ray choose to box Roberto.
Its hard to say if Floyd would be pasted toe to toe against Duran, we'll see if he can handle that kind of power in about six months, but if he could I think FLoyd would beat Duran... maybe. The thing about Duran is he's a dirty fighter, and will tie you up on the inside and use his greatest asset, his strength, to dominate the fight. Like I said before Duran wasn't "whipped" by Leonard in their second fight at all.
