for the doubters:
if you don't think duran would have had the power to hurt manny's WW/ jr ww opponents (margarito[no head movement,] cotto, shot shane, zombie clottey, shot de la hoya, shot hatton,) you are wrong

I always laugh when people act like Duran frustrated the hell out of Leonard and beat him clearly. I think last I scored that fight, Leonard lost by a round, not these 3-4 round margins people come up with. If you judge on clean effective punching, Leonard has a great case for winning even that fight.

Also a big heavy lumbering left hand is completely different then a Pacquiao lightning quick straight left that you don't see coming. NOBODY is above getting caught(and hurt) by a Pacquiao straight left.

Duran had, by far, the cleaner, harder punching in that fight. Clearly. He landed the straight right hand over and over and made Leonard miss a lot with the majority of his flurries. You probably think Leonard landed that bolo punch that made everyone cream...right? Go watch it again. It misses completely. That was the story of that fight. Leonard did his best work to the body probably, but again, Duran did better work.
There is no case of Leonard winning. However, he sure made it all different in the rematch. Doesn't change the first fight though.Last edited by BennyST; 12-23-2011, 03:35 AM.
