Roberto Duran

[StarshipTrooper]

glorify old legends who fought in the 200 lb 5' 11" heavyweight eras, exclusively?

As opposed to glorifying the fatazzes and 'roid heads polluting the division these days? :thinking9:

duran is the greatest lightweight of all time

are you insinuating Duran's loss to Kirkland Laing, Benitez & Hearns was "past-prime"? i never mentioned Pazienza or Joppy as they are IMO "way-past-prime".

I'm not insinuating it I'm flat out STATING it.....only an idiot thinks Duran was prime for Laing......especially considering Duran was prime as a Lightweight in the 1970s not as a Junior Middle in the 1980s.

You should watch Quarry v Chuvalo instead of asking me and you will see that Quarry took a knee after catching a good left-hook from Chuvalo, he watched the referee's count and rose at 9 only for Zac Clayton to wave it over to the disgust of Quarry and the crowd..

He got KTFO: Whinging about it ain't going to change the result.

His loss to Machen on points was when he was a young novice only 14 months into the pro ranks and was a tremendous performance from Quarry against a seasoned pro like Eddie Machen who was fighting for the Heavyweight Title only 15 months earlier.

A. Quarry had 20 pro fights when he fought Machen.

B. Machen fought for a phony title in 1965, at a time when everyone knew the real Champion was Ali.

C. Machen didn't deserve to fight for even a phony title as he hadn't beat a top fighter since 1961 when he beat Doug Jones.

D. At the time Quarry fought him, Machen had gone 1-4-1 in his last 6 fights ie. he was washed up pure and simple.

Next!

No real arguments on my part, but I personally think Whitaker, Benny Leonard, and Gans all slightly out-rank him.

[Forza]

Duran failed against almost every C level fighter and above that he fought. Probably one of the most overrated fighters of all time next to tyson.

I don't even rank him in the top 20

You can cease posting now.

[Steak]

should be top 10 either way.

I think he is referring to Lightweight and of all time.

In which I presume he has him in the top 10 for both.

correct interpretation.

Unlike JCC with his unbeaten streak of HOF's?

I love the Khan sig pic so I'll go light. How can you call me a troll and red K me for voicing my opinion and come on here and praise every black American fighter out there and glorify old legends who fought in the 200 lb 5' 11" heavyweight eras, exclusively?

That's called a double standard.

As opposed to the burger king division of today? These fat slobs can't make it to the ring without fainting.

Well you trolled just know by bringing in race. Thanks for showing your true intentions out, ******.
