Sugar Ray Leonard VS Roberto Duran(P4P All Time Great)

[prinzemanspopa]

Go ahead and tall us how Roberto was the same fighter in New Orleans as he was in Montreal.

Look up a few posts,Einstein....I already did.Or perhaps you avoided that,much like you have avoided my references to your hilarious and ignorant description of one of the most famous sporting events of the last century.A fight in which even the most ordinary of casual viewer wouldn't struggle to describe the famous tactic used that night.



Unlike you,Carly...I've seen more than two Duran fights.

You're getting very repetitive and boring. Please explain in detail how he was the same fighter. It's obvious you have the time, as you just posted an entire paragraph and the only sentence that was relevant was the 3 words "I already did."

And now you assume how many Duran fights I've seen. I do find it amusing how you pretend you're the only person that watches boxing and has seen many fights, yet you have never once contributed anything to any thread that I've ever seen, and I've never seen a single post where you display having any boxing knowledge. For crying out loud, you have the Great Joe Frazier in your avatar running from George Foreman. What kind of idiot does that and slanders a great like Frazier all over a boxing forum at every opportunity? That's how ****** you are and is why nobody takes you seriously and you are a well known troll across the board.

when duran reigned at lightweight who was really in the division,is was pretty much watered down,

You're getting very repetitive and boring.

Continually asking me to explain something that I've already explain over and over again is "very repetitive and boring".


A failure to "display having any boxing knowledge" is claiming that Muhammad Ali beat George Foreman using "footwork".That is a gaffe for any casual sports fan,let alone for someone who claims to be a boxing fan.



You've done enough to soil this topic as it is,no need to involve Smokin' Joke Frazier into this discussion.Although It's an obvious attempt at changing the subject,it's still unnecessary.

[mrboxer]

alis footwork had a lot to do with the fantastic display ala rope a dope against foreman

What's even more weird is how Ray Leonard suddenly became the sole authoritative opinion on this topic.Even more weird that Duran apologist would think that.Then again,it suits your own agenda,doesn't it?


Now before you unleash another witty response in my direction,do tell me: What reason would I have to believe Duran wasn't in his prime going into the rematch? Where in the three and a half months that Duran had to prepare did he "slip up"?


Quitters and frontrunners can be exposed in the harshest of manners....As Duran found out.

My agenda... sure... I have an agenda to develop on a boxing forum... right...

Leonard seems a pretty authoritative opinion to me. You think I should rather listen to you instead?

Ah,sarcasm....Who knew that a Duran apologist possessed such wit.


Seems to me that you're too slow and narrow-minded to think outside the apologist box.Perhaps listening to me might do you good.You never knows....It may teach you to respond to a post with a half-decent argument.



Now,answer the question,boy: "What reason would I have to believe Duran wasn't in his prime going into the rematch?"

[mrboxer]

you guys should get back on topic,both of your posts make little sense,ltyr reading my posts on this and yo will get a clearer picture on this very talked about debate that has many different opinions

Those mentioned by the man who had most gain by them, son.

And now we've gradually worked our way down to a sentence.Honestly,this is the voice of the Duran apologist? Good lord.Once upon a time they atleast put up a fight,not some botched one-liners.




You didn't answer my question,either.How does Duran suddenly become past prime,despite showing absolutely no signs of slipping up,and having just beat the best fighter he ever fought?


Duran gaining weight in-between fights is irrelevant,as he,like many other fighters,often gained weight in-between bouts and worked his way back down to his fighting weight.It certainly didn't effect his performances in the past,so why should it have done so just five months after a career definining win,in which he had three and a half months preparation for?



Try and grow a chest hair for this one,laddy....
