I dont think the Duran of the first fight would've fallen or gotten frustrated by Leonard's shenanigans like he did in the second fight. Duran was possessed in the first fight

Non-constipated Duran takes it.

I favor Leonard, the first fight was close and Ray fought the wrong fight. He figured he was too strong and too powerful for Duran. He wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Leonard wins, he lost the first fight because he let Duran get in his head with all stuff he said about Leonard's wife. Leonard did not box him like he should have and played right into Duran's hand. Leonard isn't a brawler, he can only win if he sticks and moves.

Duran landed some of his best shots in the first fight in the moments where Leonard used his movement. He was simply a monster on that night, and I don't think anything Leonard could do would beat that Duran.

That's false. Leonard was a fighter, he loved to brawl. The fights where he stuck and move were rare and not his usual style.

Leonard could box and move but his mistake in fight 1 was that he did not concede in his mind that Duran was the stronger inside fighter, who could also box.

He could box and move, but he was not a stick and move fighter. He wanted to hurt his opponents.
