In regards to beating Alexis Arguello. He does specify that in his post.

You can see clearly against Buchanan that he's significantly shorter with less reach or the same size along with many of his other 135 fights. The only guy I remember him looking bigger than was Vilomar Fernandez, but he was a shortass at 135. Despite beating Arguello, he was towered over by a full head so.... By the time he left 135 he had grown into a solid, but not big, lightweight.Originally posted by IronDanHamza View PostHe's talking about Vilomar Fernandez. Not Roberto Duran.

Considering, he specified he was talking about Fernandez in the sentance prior.
"The only guy I remember him looking bigger than was Vilomar Fernandez, but he was a shortass at 135. Despite beating Arguello, he was towered over by a full head so...."
How can you not see that he is clearly referring to Fernandez there in that statment in regards to beating Arguello, and not Duran.
