Only after he'd moved to WW and above, both at a prime 135 I'd have to take Duran. Castillo and Maidana all but beat Floyd and their reverence is miniscule compared to the legendary Panamanian.You could, I suppose. Floyd's one close fight was sort of flukey where as Duran lost to technically skilled, athletic boxers almost every time out.
didnt he fight him at ww? a weight where he arguably lost to collazo and pretty much looked like shit for the most part at that weightSeeing as how you guys think Hatton as a lineal jww and in the top ten for years is shit, who else should Floyd fight if he didn't go up in weight? Floyd beat maulers a lot, why would Duran be different?
What about when castillo arguably beat him? I think floyd would win 6 or 7 times outta 10 but by no means would it be easyFloyd beats Duran easily but depends on what fight Floyd decides to fight. I see a lot of people bringing up Maidana but Maidana had success because Floyd allowed him to meaning Floyd chose to stay in the pocket and against the ropes a lot more in that fight but as we saw in the second fight when he moved more its a much clearer win. If Floyd fought Duran the way he fought Corrales or Canelo it would be an easy win for Floyd.
I dont really wana make excuses for Floyd but I think that was more to do with luck and either Floyd having a bad day or Castillo having a good day. Floyd did say he had an injury in that fight.What about when castillo arguably beat him? I think floyd would win 6 or 7 times outta 10 but by no means would it be easy

Who should Floyd have fought that was "prime" and bigger in his entire career?Yes they do. Floyd never fought an ATG prime guy his own size or bigger.
Floyd schools him.
I've said this a million times, list Durans best performances and his worst and tell me which Camp of fighters Floyd fits in.
floyd would box his ears off. It'd be like a combination of Pac vs Floyd and Baldomir vs Floyd.
Duran didn't beat guys like Floyd.
You are such a smug son of a bitch
