    Like he recovered and beat SRL in their rematch?

      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.
      That's a good explanation but it wasn't worth it. That guy is a troll and so is Mr. Internet Tough Guy who started the thread.

              So it wasn't a higher weight for Hearns then?

                      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.
