    Roberto Duran fights the greatest fighter he ever fought




    Very interesting mismatch for those who have not seen it.No shame in losing to the great tommy Hearns,although Mark Medal did last quite a while longer and didn't get knocked out cold.

      duran went down like a tree,he got owned,he was way out of his league,duran had no business what so ever being in the ring with hearns,duran landed only 2 punches and both were below the belt,when duran awoke from i think the most brutal kayo ever with the help of smelling salts,he was asked what happened and his response was i do not remember,no kidding he did not remember he was out like light,duran is a legend in his own mind he is not even close to the likes of leonard,hearns,hagler,benitez

        The only way Duran would have beaten Hearns was being allowed to fight with a machete and and a baseball bat

          Why do you have such a downer on Duran?

            Also Hagler and Leonard would have a thing or two to say about that.

                duran and cuevas are both overrated,when cuevas got hit by the right of hearns he looked like he just consumed a bottle of tequila,duran and cuevas were both swinging wildly and were trying to land haymakers against hearns,that is not how you beat hearns,to beat hearns you have to brawl with him,after a while his legs turn to rubber and when he gets whacked on the chin he does not know how to recover,

                  Pryor admitted he turned down half a million to fight Leonard.

                  Hagler had 20 pounds on Pryor. Pryor wasn't ****** enough to call out Hagler, in fact he had contemplate whether to campaign at 147 or not, he decided not to.

                    Not this **** again!

                    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.
