Roberto Duran's Chin

duran did not have a good chin,he had the ability to roll with the punch,any time a fighter hit him with a right or left hook he was able to roll out of it,when he got hit by hearns right he went down like a tree because a straight right is hard to roll,:boxing: LOL at Duran fans excuses. Do you have an excuses for all of his losses. This is not accurate.

LOL at Duran fans excuses. Do you have an excuses for all of his losses. Not an excuse he was a professional athlete and was entitled to look after himself so the only person whose fault it was that he lost was Duran's. However when trying to analyse his career and deciding who would or might beat him then it is a prime Duran you look at and so you look at such fights as SRL 1, Palomino, Cuevas, Buchanan, Lampkin, De Jesus and Moore fight rather than the Hearns fight. As for his chin, he was knocked out twice, once when he was 47 and the other time by Hearns who would be on most peoples top 20 pfp punchers of all time. Duran was also 3 weights above his best weight class and you could make a very strong case for Hearns being the no.1 atg at Light Middle. So if in a career lasting 30 years and over 100 fights Duran is chinny then I have been watching the wrong sport for 50 odd years.

LOL at Duran fans excuses. Do you have an excuses for all of his losses. No, me and I thing many Duran fans like Duran for what Duran was. If you have watched many fights of him, you can see the ups and downs in boxing. Nether the less he was a bad mf. I do like his excusses, but he was a fighter and a living man, enjoing live to much, which makes him more special. He wasnt a very good professional or very disciplined sportsmen. But if he was training hard and regular he had shown it on fightnight. He was gambling, drinking, had different women, dancing, just doing everything men love to do. Its always funny, how people love it to see him going down and refering to Tommy Hearns, that he ****ed Duran. Most people see just this one round, and make their opinion, while not watching his fights in his long career. I for myself stop hating fighters, except the cheaters. It also feels hard to still respect someone like Oscar, for all his stupid recent articels.

Hearns shattered that.

I heard that Duran was over 200lbs when he signed for the Hearns fight, not so easy to sweat off huge chunks of weight in your 30's. Shame because prime for prime that would have been an interesting fight. was he also not 240lbs after beating Sugar Ray the 1st time, hence the reason Ray pushed for an immediate rematch when he heard of Duran's weight gain?

Always like to provoke:arabia: ? Duran had all, Chin, Defence and in his Prime and his natural weightclass, very good reflexes and anticipation. And the Hearns Fight was just a good beating for Duran and he deserved it. He needed to know, that he can fall, like he did in that fight. But I am 100% sure, a good prepared Duran can go 12 Rounds with a Hearns and maybe win, but just with a A-game performance, and not as a Juniolmiddleweight. Otherwise Tommy, who was trapped in the body of a Welter but had the power of a good Lightheavy or Cruiser, wins 9 of 10 fights.

He went down from the Hearns right because he was already out of it (probably since the first round) and never saw the punch coming.
