These guys can’t light a candle to Roberto Duran in his prime. Note even Paqueada can match up to Duran if both were in the same time period.

BAM! Mayweather got Mosley...

I’m not familiar with Duran, but I just started following boxing a year or two ago...

I don’t know the scores, but I’m afraid Mayweather’s going to take this one...Mosley doesn’t seem to be landing much.

Roberto Duran was one of the best lightweights of all time, and had an epic win over Sugar Ray Leonard at welterweight (in their first fight in around 1980). His prime was the late ‘70s, but fought effectively well into the ‘80s.

Yeah, ESPN has Mayweather winning the last three rounds. Mosley showing his age, it appears. But he’s got power and grit, so the fight can turn on a dime.

Hi, there fightfan. Long time no talk.

Shane’s not looking too good.

Roberto Duran was one of the best lightweights of all time.

So many people have no idea about how right you are.

Hi! I’m still here, still giving meaningless emotional commentary!
Mosley’s fading in and out...getting some body shots in, though.

ESPN has it a lot closer. Gotta take into account Shane had a 3-point lead after two rounds.

Harold says Mosley looks defeated. And he does in the middle of the ninth.

Mosley can take a hit, that’s for sure...

Mayweather flinches away from hits, but when one lands, he stands his ground...That’s new.

Duran had his way with Leonard in that first fight with a 15 round unanimous decision, but their second bout in that same year Leonard humiliated Duran and gave us the infamous “No Mas” after 8 rounds.

I don’t think the third fight had any point to it as both were well past their prime, but Duran did win that one as well.

Heck of an era for boxing — Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Hagler, Holmes, Arguello, Salvador Sanchez, .....a lot of all-time greats. Boxing’s heyday in the modern era.

Mosley just looks awkward.

After 10. Mayweather 99/91.

Mosley's trainer threatened Shane with stopping the fight.

You crack me up.

I really wanted Mosley to win but Mayweather looks fantastic. So fast, crisp, poised.
