Why do people compare PBF to SRL

[Mr140]

Most of the reason i belive for the reason that SRL lost to Duran was he decided to brawl if he would of boxed still feel he would of won taht fight.

ME too.
I think people compare fighters to other fighters of old like maybe even Hatton to Duran on style alone sometimes in and out of the ring; like
Floyd to SRL on style and being smart asses to the opponents, weights probably dont enter their minds.
Like Im sure most think like .. Ali at his best, fighting a top Floyd ;just on style, at any imaginary catch weight, so long as their game wasnt effected or their chin; skill ,heart and stamina and style only.

Duran also lost the 2nd fight because he was ill i looked at his training footage before the fight and he was as flat as a pancake, he certainly wasn't ready for the fight. And thats why he wanted to pull out but Don King wouldn't them because of the money involved or something like that.

Great thing about classics like SRL-Duran is that both fighters always end up getting the same recognition for the classic regardless of who beat who.

Arguello-pryor, barrera-morales, castillo-corrales - I remember them fights for seeing 2 great fighters at a time puting on a spectacle for us fans and rarely go into the details of who actually won.

I genuinely cannot think of a single occasion ive seen floyd fight and either been intensely excited or under the impression he is unbeatable hence why i`ll always rate leonard higher
