Roberto Duran: "Mayweather Would've Been Ordinary in My Era"

[HamAndEgger]

Thats your opinion I respect it, I think older fighters get overrated just cause, if we were magnifying their flaws and loses like newer fighters do things ATG list would appear completely different




What the fukk does that mean, Castillo twice is better than any combinations of names you pull



And the 1st fight might have been close with Castillo so what Floyd had a injured shoulder and hand and kept trying, he didnt quit in the face of adversity like Duran, at the first sign of moisture with SRL. But Floyd wouldnt have fought this person and that person, gloves ring and such, Mayweather would never quit, you will have to knock Mayweather out cold beat him

Have you ever seen even Buchanan and or DeJesus even fight to make such a ridiculous statement? Or is it being that Castillo quite frankly beat Floyd in their 1st fight that he stands on a higher pedestal?

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

I love Duran but he's full of shyt

 

[Newzz]

Im not Floyding your question bro, just choosing not to give into what is either your blatant trolling or unknowledgeable mentality as it pertains to Roberto Duran. Whats worse is after interfacing with you numerous times on here, Im beginning to see your definition of what a REAL fighter and a TRUE CHAMPION is based on Mayweather and his record, and that tells me all I need to know about you and your lack of knowledge about the sport of boxing at its crux.

Arguable, but that doesnt fall on Floyd he has beat many great fighters is it his fault he makes legit HOF's and not (34 loss ones like you mentioned), look like absolute shyt

How many of those HOFers that Floyd fought, did he fight in their primes

De La Hoya WASHED UP WHEN FLOYD FOUGHT HIM
Shane Mosley WASHED UP WHEN FLOYD FOUGHT HIM
JMM REALLY BREH?
Diego Corrales (R.I.P.) ARE YOU fukkING SERIOUS B?

You nikkaz pullin' lists off of ESPN and not verifyin' what's really the deal. Nikkas keep discrediting Floyd. Those guys are listed are multiple championship belt winners in different divisions, guys who at one point in their career were top 5 pound for pound. That's not even mentioning guys like Cotto, Hatton, Baldomir, and Judah, all great/former greats in their own right. A better question would be do you think Duran would go undefeated against the lineup Floyd has faced? If you say yes, then you are most definitely a stan.




What's the matter @patscorpio, "No Mas"?

Prime Roberto Duran would beat every single fighter Floyd has faced.....what the hell

Dude put the at the beginning too like he was about to say some potent shyt

You didn't answer the question. Do you think Duran would have fight the following guys without a loss:

Shane Mosley
JMM
Cotto
Baldomir
Judah
De La Hoya
Corrales

^^^^all these guys were top 5 pound-for-pound at the time of the fight. There's HOF boxers he beat that I'm not even including. Please tell me Duran would go 7-0 against these guys

Stop it breh.....please

You putting smilies in the posts REALLY makes it funny as shyt, because you do not know what you are talking about

 

[Newzz]

These floyd stans rate fighters based on their records

Says it all really. Last floyd thread I'm entering. But they will still try to make every thread on boxing somehow about floyd.

That's why I didnt enter this thread.....Floyd stans are crazy

Ok b, you're right because you say so The guy took one uppercut at the welterweight level and never returned to form, yet he'd run though today's welterweight division like a finish line Let's look at the facts:

Lightweight
-Beat Buchanan via low blow
-Beat Kobayashi whose claim to fame was defending his title against Asians
-Lost to Esteban DeJesus (this alone should kill the argument of Duran being able to hang with Floyd)

Welterweight
-Lost to SRL after 1st rematch, and then continued to lose

Middleweight
-Lost to Benitez
-Lost to CAC Kirk
-Lost to Hearns
-Lost to Hagler
-Beat Journeyman Barkley

Super Middleweight
-Lost to Camacho
-Lost to SRL

Please explain to me where his props come from? Saoul Mamby? Barkley? Fluke win against SRL? Could you imagine Clyde Drexler coming out and saying Kobe would be just another player in the 90s?

 

[Newzz]

Ok b, you're right because you say so

My nikka.


Floyd is a great fighter....best of our era. Roberto Duran was wrong when he said that Floyd would just be another "ordinary fighter". He should have said "Floyd would just been another great fighter in the 80s like me, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Pryor, Arguello, and Benitez" and that would have been accurate. Floyd would NOT be undefeated if he faced HOF fighters in their primes, multiple times, like they all did against each other. He would be one of the best, maybe THEE best, but not undefeated


Now, you bringing up those lists of fighters and comparing them to a Prime Roberto Duran is disrespectful. It's obvious you've never seen "Hands Of Stone" fight live or even watched footage on him if you're making those statements.


It's okay though breh


You're on the internet, you can go to youtube, watch some Duran fights and realize you're throwing your credibility out the window with the real boxing heads in "The Ring" when you question if prime Duran could beat a Diego Corrales or Baldomir.

 

[Icantspell]

Floyd ain't ordinary, bruh. In any era.

you right he would stick to fighting bums in any era

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

you right he would stick to fighting bums in any era

You obviously can't think either

 

[King P]

So the fact that he lost to De Jesus means he can't hang with Floyd? Funny how we conveniently forget to mention that he fought him again twice and beat him both times

 

[Newzz]

Floyd Mayweather Jr is a better fighter than Roberto Duran was. I have no doubt in my mind that EVERY opponent that Roberto Duran beat.....Floyd would beat also. And vice versa being that Floyd's resume isnt as strong.

As far as great fighters who Duran lost to.

I think that Floyd would have beat Esteban De Jesus, beat SRL 2 -1 in the 3 matchups, beat Wilfred Benitez, loss to Marvin Hagler, and loss to Thomas Hearns. Floyd would have went 4-3 in those 7 fights against those prime ATGs imo.


The Camacho fights dont count to me because Duran was 45 and 50 years old in the 2 fights. I dont hold ANYTHING against fighters still fighting at the age of 40 and up.

 

[King P]

I don't really hold Duran's losses at the higher weights against him like that. Besides the fact that he was old and past his prime as he went up to the higher weights. Dude is a natural lightweight. The guys he was going against at the higher weights were naturally bigger than him. The fact that he won a title at middleweight as impressive in and of itself (And he shoulda won a title at super middle, but got robbed against Vinny Paz). I liken it to Roy Jones going from 154 to heavyweight and winning a belt. Yea it was against John Ruiz, but its still pretty damn impressive.

I mean let's be real, if Mayweather went up to middleweight and won a title yall would still use it to big up his greatness even if he lost several fights on the way there (shyt, I know I would)

All I'm trying to say is that Duran is not in the position to sh*t on Mayweather, the same way Drexler is not in a position to sh*t on Kobe, or Jeff George on Peyton Manning. And for the record no way in hell Duran goes undefeated fighting the cats Mayweather's fault, so how could Mayweather be ordinary? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

So you never watched the fight then

 

[blackzeus]

So you never watched the fight then

I saw somebody get in the balls, and then saw it ruled as a legitimate knockout



Watch from about 2:54 on, sh*t is status. And let's be reality, Gabby Jay Buchanan wouldn't last 13 rounds against Floyd

 

[Master Teacher]

I

I mean let's be real, if Mayweather went up to middleweight and won a title yall would still use it to big up his greatness even if he lost several fights on the way there (shyt, I know I would)

dawg Floyd started at super featherweight, he has nothing else to prove with moving up in weight

and I would like to be clear, Floyd could be 45 years old and would never lose to the likes of Hector Camacho
