True, but Duran was made to look amateurish by De Jesus in their first fight. He was easily outboxed and nullified by hand speed and a jab. And I think its safe to say Floyd is far superior to De Jesus (RIP) in just about every catagory.

I can't even picture Floyd in a fight againsed a prime SRL, probably because most of his opponents of late are old and nowhere near as fast or active or prime.

Duran at 147 I think he could handle due to the size difference, like Marquez, Duran just wasn't suited to the higher weights. Hearns I think beats him.....I mean who has Floyd ever fought that was anywhere near as good as any of these guys really?

Baldomir, Judah, Mitchell, JMM, Hatton, & ODLH and Mosley....oh wait I'm only helping you by naming those guys, that's not my intention.

You ever seen the man fight? De Jesus was a highly underrated fighter. There was no shame in Duran losing to him like there was when he lost to Kirkland Laing or Pat Lawlor
