Duran is my #1. I have a tough time with the other nine, especially with the ordering.

Jofre never gets enough credit, but he was a great fighter.

It is hard to remember Jofre since he was Brazilian!!!

It is hard to remember Jofre since he was Brazilian!!!

When he was in his prime, he was rated as the best pound for pound boxer.

Duran is good but overrated, i honestly say monzon is better. Duran gets praise cuz he hung in with hagler and hearns and he beat leonard the first time. He padded his record on bums just like chavez did, except chavez had a longer run as a top 10 fighter. He was great from 84-98 i believe. Monzon is the best in my opinion.

Duran gets praise because that all came after he was arguably the best fighter of the 70s, and considered to be the greatest lightweight ever. His mix of offense and defense was amazing.

Some guys go through different weight classes winning belts. some fighters stay for awhile in one class reigning. Duran did both.

I agree with him being rated as the Greatest Lightweight ever. He was one mean guy, just like LaMotta.
