Is Duran the greatest fighter still alive today?

[GhostofDempsey]

Leonard is not a close second. He played way too many games in order to get in the ring. No mas hardly counts at all because he purposely harvested a Duran who was not in top shape. No one gets giant legacy points for such antics. Duran is all by himself. He is the greatest fighter living, and by far.

We also have to take into consideration the shortness of Leonard's career, just 40 total fights. At age 35, after only 38 fights, he gets sparked up by Terry Norris. At 41 he gets stopped by Camacho who wasn't the best version of himself either.

All your semantics doesn't change the overall message and tone of your thread, you were trying to paint him as a coward. That's what Willie was talking about, but you got hung up on the actual word, but the sentiment was there.

Who's Willie?

Is that your alt or something?

Are you on second shift?

Using that logic, you give Hearns and Benitez a shout since they beat prime Duran. Yet Duran still ranks higher that either of them.

Duran wasn't anywhere close to prime when he lost to Benitez or Hearns.

I would agree, Duran is the greatest fighter still alive.

I believe it is obvious from all the sources and testimonials since the fight that Mayweather was juicing and had to avoid committing to giving up any money if caught.

Of course he would have lost the fight if caught juicing but the contract would have caused him to pay a 5 million penalty besides losing the 100 million payday.

The preponderance of evidence strongly suggests that Mayweather was a cheat.

What evidence?

Mr. 24 hours on Boxingscene who starts each day arguing, gets up at 4:30 AM each day and argues until 1:00AM. Argues on Christmas Day, Mother's Day, 365 days per year...all because you didn't win any real trophies in your youth.

Show me all the threads I hijacked. I tell you that you hijack threads so your adolescent brain just repeats it back to me like a child? You're the one who makes them all about Dempsey and then repeats himself over and over like a broken record. I ruined your life on here, exposed your mental illness. Even now, your hands are shaking, you're gaslighting everyone and your heart is pounding in your chest. I got to you, and you've been stalking me ever since Mr. Chollo.

You are still hi******* this one Let it go so this thread can go back to what it was meant to be, hijacker.

By the way, I argue all day on here, such that I just returned here from last posting many hours ago. I see you been busy, by the notifications I got of you posting to me and others in the thread that I made. Projecting much?


Now stop hi******* this thread.

He's already spoken of like a legend and he's still partying by the looks of it.

Any other contenders? Leonard? Foreman?

At this point I'm not sure who's still alive and who's dead

What evidence?

As my post suggests it's "common knowledge" - seems a popular argument around here so I thought I'd give it a try.

The problem with Pacquiao is that he doesn't have the technical skill to match up with Floyd. How many times did we watch him gradually push Floyd to the corner, only to be clocked with a check hook and have Floyd turn out....over and over and over again. I'm surprised that he never learned how to cut off the ring effectively.

Duran, Sugar Ray, and I'd have to go Floyd next. For what it's worth, I think Canelo is amazing and could possibly move into this list before his career is done.
