        I love Duran and I rate him highly. But how can you justify putting him ahead of Armstrong, Greb, Langford and others?

          I don't see how Duran could be better than the guy who made him quit and then beat him in the rubber match.

            I agree,but it's not like you know much about the sport is it? Watch whatever hbo puts out and that's probably about it.

              No.

              But this isn't NSB so I rather see a good reason as to why a guy who quit, then got beat in the rubber match. Is better than the guy who beat him?


              I don't care if it was at middleweight, welterweight, whatever. Duran moved up so its on him. Like I said, this isn't NSB so i don't want to hear no dumbass excuses for it.

                Where do you rate Armstrong,Greb,and Langford in comparison to Duran?

                I like many others rate Duran the greatest lightweight of all-time ahead of Armstrong.

                BTW-Who do you mean by others? What fighters do you have in mind?

                  My list constantly changes, but I would definitely have B. Leonard, Mickey Walker, Ezzard Charles and possibly others ahead of Duran as well as Robinson, Armstrng, Greb and Langford. Certrainly in the lower half of the top 10 Duran ranks for me.

                  I have no problem with anyone rating Duran, Gans or Leonard number one all time at lightweight. My personal choice is Leonard because he fought and beat the best competition at that weight.
