Floyd Mayweather vs. prime Roberto Duran at lightweight: who wins?

[pbftxrs316]

****outta here.

If you knew boxing at all, you wouldn't be talking about how VICTORIANO SOSA stands a better chance against Floyd than Duran.

You're a ****ing STAN, that's it. You may watch other fighters but you make love to Floyd.

sosa stood a better chance than duran. it was his style. sosa had great technical ability and his style was equipped for floyd. duran was not a technician, like sosa was, which is what you'd have to be to beat floyd along with many other things.

that making love to floyd mess you put only proves how disoriented you are. think before you type punk.

Sosa has great technical ability according to who? WHO? Who the **** did he beat?? How is it better than Duran's? How did it help him against Cotto?

I wouldn't say technical, he was just a really good defensive fighter.

you may not say it, but many experts would and many fighters would. floyd's style was very technical. that mixed his other physical attributes and sound mind, is a technician at the very best.

just watch his fights-being a really good defensive fighter is being technical. he also possessed a great jab, great feint, great side to side lateral movement, great counterpunching skill, had a lethal left hook, straight right hand, beatuiful combinations, tremendous speed and timing, good power, ability to fight going backwards and using his opponent's speed and style against them. this is technical at it's finest. just go back and watch his fights to see.

The guy pretty much offers, "Floyd beats ______ because he's the most amazing piece of work ever. ______ is good at x, y, and z but floyd is better and has the best defense ever and can't be touched in the pocket and counters everything and has underrated power and has the best reflexes and is so complete and........................ " You're wasting your time.

Man, I'm just hoping he's related to Floyd cuz if not, this isn't healthy.

Victoriano Sosa has a better chance than Roberto Duran???

Kill yourself.

I think you are completely off this time. I think you are getting down to Sin City level.

I guarantee that the most he's seen of a prime Duran is the three-second gif in Malcolm's profile.

LOL how many times have people said this. I also heard hatton had the style

I'll explain. I never said Hatton was equipped to take Floyd's 0 btw, but I did think he'd give him problems early on. I admit I wasn't right about that.

Duran could throw every punch in the book. He was a gifted inside fighter who knew what punches to throw, how to subtlely slip punches inside, and how to mix up his punches well.

He had the chin to take Floyd's counterpunches and continue to press forward. He had a great jab that he could throw from different angles, and double up when necessary. Like he did against Sugar in the first fight, he'd feint effectively, something that's vital against Floyd. Duran also had the ability to land his right hand over the top from outside, another important weapon when facing Floyd.

again with namecalling. you look like you're getting really emotional and you shouldn't feel that way. sosa's style was more of a technician than duran's was. that obvious. styles make fights right? so what if he lost to cotto, floyd beats cotto, and cotto was also a good boxer. duran was a brwler at best, who did possess fundamentals, but against floyd at 135? he'd be too slow for floyd. he'd get left hooked to death, and duran threw his guard down a lot especially his right hand and floyd's timing is impecible. duran was very good body puncher, floyd's shoulder roll may not get the job done in that aspect, but his ability to block punches and then counter, a rare skill in boxing, something duran didn't have, would make duran look a little amaterish. floyd's skillset can be described as an array of fighters like srl, some srr, roy jones, meldrick taylor, whitaker, terry norris, james toney, all of these fighters combined in some way make up floyd mayweather
jr. duran had problems with boxers when they moved. but he did have the ability to make them fight his fight, mental edge he possessed was astonishing, but floyd's mindset is too sharp, he would make duran use his own style against him and confuse the **** out of him, espeially at 135. floyd's athleticism was a thing of beauty, face it folks. his ability to chage tempos throughout a round is something only truly great fighters had. floyd beats duran because duran wouldn't be able to make floyd fight duran's fight, floyd must havea bunch of wires and transmitters upstairs in his mind, because he always does something to change the preplexity of the fight, and it comes in bursts, then the tempo changes, he did this with hatton, a guy who's skillset can be compared with duran's.

floyd would be duran.
