Duran vs mayweather question?

Question

you said hatton was out of his weight class mayweather came in as a featherweight

Answer 1

Your argument about losing to the best is flawed. Why might you ask, well let's think about it. Who do you consider to be the greatest Heavyweight of all-time? Marciano or Ali? If you ask me, although Ali lost to a few tough opponents he is still considered the best All-time. Marciano's competition pales in comparison. And this is where Mayweather will be dogged the rest of his career. He has ducked Mosley, Margo and now Cotto. He has not unified not 1 division and at lightweight Duran would have destroyed him! You also forgot to mention that he beat Sugar Ray Leonard who was faster and stronger than your boy Mayweather!

Answer 2

listen right, all i gotta say is cotto or margorito.

mayweather doesnt wanna fight either of them, he has been ducking them for ages.

the hatton fight was just so so hyped up,they made ricky hatton look super human, he is a great boxer ye, but its true he is a natural light welterweight, ya know not all boxers are good at different weight classes....amir khan is a lightweight, if he stepped up a few weights...and he will, he will humiliate the american and mexican boxers so badly. amir khan vs mayweather would be an ace fight. hatton vs mayweather was too much built up, they made hatton someone he aint.

and to answer your question nobus, Duran is the least of mayweathers problems, he has a fight with de la hoya.

no one likes mayweather because he aint a 'peoples champion' he buys his friends and his fans, everyone knows he is a facking tosser. end of

Answer 3

Jo S said it best. Duran had the same problem Mosley had, he lost his speed when he moved up in weight.

Although I dont think it would be a blow out by any means, I think Duran would pressure Mayweather too much.

If Roberto Duran cornered Mayweather like Oscar was able to, Duran wouldn’t p***y out like Oscar, Duran would finish it in that corner.

If Mayweather fights and beats Cotto, I will say that he could have beaten Duran. But if he avoids Cotto then that answers the question that he probably would have ducked Duran too.

You give Mayweather way too much credit for the opponents you listed. No full time boxing fan would have given Diego a shot at beating Mayweather.

Gatti was so far past his prime it was sad. Mayweather did what Oscar,Robinson (twice),Ward,Soloman,Manfredy and Robinson and Soloman and Manfredy did it when he was in his prime, and they were never great fighters. All Mayweather did was finish off a beaten down man.

Mayweather is a great fighter, but he is not perfect. Hes only 30 so there is no reason he shouldn’t fight Cotto. (oh my hands are bad, im gonna have to retire early, oww my shoulders hurt, waaan waaan waaan) hes already making excuses not to fight Cotto. But he can sure as h**l step in with Oscar again.

In order to be great, a fighter has to take a great challenge and overcome it and take a little less money to prove that he is great. And if he dosnt then that’s fine, but he can't be great.

Oscar let Floyd off the hook, Mayweather-DeLaHoya 2 big money, Oscars a business man he aint stupid. If Oscar knocks him out...no second fight. So Oscar held back and figured well if I win a decision there will be a rematch, If Floyd wins there will be a rematch, If I knock Floyd out...I lose Millions off a second fight.

Thats Mayweathers win over Oscar. BRAVO!?! clap clap clap

Final thought I think Duran Ko's Mayweather late.

Answer 4

You must not seem to realize that Duran was a Lightweight that was already a bit past his prime when he went up 12 pounds(weight percentage wise, the biggest leap in boxing) and beat Leonard. it was the greatest feat in boxing history for a guy to go up 12 pounds without a tune-up and beat one of the greatest welterweights in history. Duran shouldn't have even been fighting Hagler, Hearns, and those other big guys. Watch his fights at 135 between 1972 and 1980. He would have literally slapped Mayweather all around the ring. It would be no contest!

Gatti was way past his prime and out of his weight class- just like Hatton. Mayweather lost badly to Castillo. Duran would freaking pulverize Castillo! Mayweather won't even fight the top welterweights of today, much less have a chance to beat a prime Sugar Ray Leonard. I wouldn't even brag about beating Baldomir- everyone else has beaten him also. He is club fighter quality.

Answer 5

Thumbs up Jo S

Think about how Mayweather would have made out with Hagler! Duran destroyed the lightweight division. He then moved up and competed well in a strong era in the welterweight division.

Duran ducked nobody!

When's Mayweather fighting Cotto?

Answer 6

I would go with mayweather, he's a champ at 5 different weight classes. Duran was unstoppable at lightweight but when he went up he lost. I think mayweather would frusturate duran so much with his style he would do what he did with sugar ray say "no mas" or fight dirty and get DQ'd.  

And Kungfuex said khan would humiliate any mexican  fighter at lightweight and up.... are you joking? First let him fight sombody good and win a title.  Did you forget Pacman and Marquez are still in that weight!  Plus what happened to that undefeated british fighter the Prince he thought he was invinsibble until he fought The great mexican fighter Barrera in his prime!.......So don't get to ahead of youself kungfuex!

Answer 7

This is easy Duran by KO

Answer 8

adam is a fool,castillo beat mayweather in there first fight and castillo aint nowhere near as good as duran was...gatti was way past his prime and war torn when mayweather fought gatti..hatton got exposed by collazo...corrales was fresh out of jail and not prepared...mitchell also over the hill...de la hoya also over the hill...almost every body has koed judah except mayweather...baldomir is another over the hill journey man that got the title from a war torn gatti...your list mayweather opponents are garbage....the last time mayweather fought the best in his division was 5 years ago against castillo and everybody knows mayweather lost the first fight..and his cherrypicking opponents after the castillo fights just gos to show you that mayweather is a fraud...and naive individuals like yourself are brainwashed into believing this coward!
