On this Day : Duran edges Leonard

[CatchAndShoot]

One of my all-time favorite fights.

Makes me sad to think that we live in the "let it marinate" era these days.

This type of fight would never happen nowadays, #1, because there are no fighters as good as those 2, and #3, there's so much money to be made without making mega fights, and just milking a boxer with a big name for as long as he can, wihtout having to take a huge risk.

The 1 fight that came even close to this caliber of fight was made way way way too late.

[BOXEO _]

Bring back 15 rounds

and on this day the coward "hit and dont hit" mentality was born and took over the black ghetto's throughout america!

My man, the idea of hitting and not getting hit was born a longggggg time before 1980.

Amen to that.

Arguably, the greatest fight of all time.
