The 80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years (The Ring) 02/03

[Kid McCoy]

Duran is too high and Hearns too low in my opinion. Hearns knocked out Duran and fought and beat more legends.

Put Hearns in with a hard-punching light-heavyweight who has a a 12" reach advantage and a 6" height advantage and see how long he lasts. Duran went 15 competitive rounds with Hagler, who sparked Hearns in three. Duran beat Leonard, who also KO'd Hearns. Duran beat Barkley, who both KO'd and decisioned Hearns. Duran dominated his best division more thoroughly than Hearns did his. It's also worth bearing in mind that Duran was 80-odd fights into his career and 3 or 4 divisions above his peak weight when facing these guys.

hands of stone

im no boxing expert nor someone who claims extensive boxing historical knowledge but is there anyone on this list fought in five different decades except duran? this fact plus championships in different classes and a resume that is nothing short of legendary should put duran as the man at the top of any greatest fighters list... just my opinion...

pretty stupid list

[McGoorty]

Roy beats everyone above him on the list except Ali, Forman, Holmes, and maybe Dempsey and Sugar Ray.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha,....... YOU'RE FUNNY.
