Duran is consistently ranked in the top 20 p4p of all time. He is regarded the greatest LW ever. He is a multi weight champion, beating men well beyond his optimum fighting weight class.
Hagler, Leonard, Hearns, Benitez were all great fighters and beat him well after his prime.
Amazingly, as a former Lightweight, he gave possibly the greatest middleweight champion ever, Hagler, a very tough fight, and did much better than the vast majority of fully fledged middleweights that Hagler fought.
10 years after being a LW he won the MW title.
21 years after being the LW champion, with over 100 fights, he won the NBA Super Middleweight Title at the age of 50.

I lived in Vegas and went to that fight. I also went to many of his training sessions. He looked good in training.
Duran was fighting with a hangover. He went out the night before the fight
and drank to much. That was the word going around in boxing circles.
