No he wouldn't

Duran turned up fat snd out of shape for the fight. And got frustrated by a man refusing to fight and dancing away. Mayweathers never been on to do that. His defense is great but he rarely runs like Leonard did.

 

Prime vs Prime is very close

But Duran had the style to beat him more than many fighters. As i said before Mayweather doesn't have the fighters on his resume that Duran did (even if he lost close fights with some of them)

 

Who has Mayweather fought that at the time of the fight was as good as Hearns,SRL,Hagler,Benitez

His licence has been denied by the boxing board, they've done something right for a change.

 

Mayweather would of had Duran turning his back and shouting "No Mas" like the little quitting bitch he is.

Floyd's pricing himself out of the fight, cherry picking easy fights, maybe accusing Duran of juicing till Duran gets bored. Moves up and beats everyone wins the middleweight title then Floyd calls him down to a big money fight at some cach weight around lightwelter knowing Duran has ballooned up to Lightheavy after celeberating so you might be right!

“Wins the middleweight title” if this was referring to Pacquiao, that part didn’t happen.  He did however win a version of the light middleweight title (154) by draining Margarito to 148.

 

Duran was good and I know the Leonard rematch was basically set up for it to happen immediately so Duran spent his entire camp losing weight but he’s a pressure fighter (a very good one) but a pressure fighter is the exact style made for Mayweather.  Duran was made for Mayweather’s style.

He would of blasted that fool. 18 foot ring, 8oz horsehair gloves (not the pillows Floyd has everyone fighting in nowadays) no Xylocaine to protect his brittle hands, 15 rounds, no Joe Cortez to break it up every time someone gets on the inside, no Las Vegas boxing commission to cover up IV's before the fight, same day weigh in's back then. No thumbless gloves so Duran could eye poke him at will like he did against Davey Moore. Floyd would leave the ring on a stretcher.

Watch the Castillo fights to see how Floyd deals with a world class pressure fighter, Duran is 4x the fighter Castillo was!

No problem, greatest fight of all time in my opinion. Two all time greats, both in their physical prime, going at it non stop for 15 rounds. As a side note it was also the fight that convinced a young Mike Tyson to become a fighter.

I would agree with this, you have two top 10 GOAT (arguable top5) P4P fighters in there primes. Pac v Floyd might have all the numbers and the money but its got fuck all on Duran v SRL 1!

Haven't seen this fight for about five years it really is a joy to watch, at first glance it just looks like a brawl. The technical side of it can go un noticed, watch Durans ability to slip punches at close quater from someone like SRL (one of the fastest hamds in history) unbelievable!

Mayweather is going to be in Bristol as part of this tour thing he's doing.

 

If I didn't hate him so much I might be tempted to go along.

Well if you have the £5000 grand they want to meet him. Just make sure there are no woman about as i hear he's a bit beaty when there around
