Roberto Duran

[-KPB-]

Just out of curiosity...do you cats hold the 'no mas' fight against Duran........

[Quarry]

Considering he beat DeJesus 2 out 3 and has a win over top-3 all-time Welter in Leonard that hardly qualifies as "failing". Your name-sake got the piss slapped out him every time HE stepped up: That's the defination of "failing".

Poet

Kirkland Laing is another who springs to mind and it is the way in which Duran failed, quitting against Leonard then losing their 3rd fight by shut-out, out-classed by Benitez and brutally knocked out by Hearns. those are "failing" which ever way you want to look at it.

You can bring up past-prime losses if you like.....Hell, why not bring up Pazienza and Joppy while you're at it. While you're doing that mind explaining how your boy while IN HIS PRIME got KTFO by George Chuvalo and UDed by a washed up Eddie Machen?

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".

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. 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.

Id be very disappointed (but somehow not surprised) if anyone gave Duran a pass. It was appalling.

[Wild Blue Yonda]

should be top 10 either way.

You have him in the top-10 of every division he ever competed in?

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

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

I do.

It's probably the most frustrating quit I have ever witnessed. I mean, he wasn't even getting dominated and he hadn't even taken an increased amount of damage and he just quit because things didn't seem to be going his way. Was real bad, to be honest.

For him then to later say "I thought, I gave him a rematch, so he should give me one in the future. So I'm going to quit" Or something along those lines. Really adds to the frustration.

[Mr. Invincible]

His wins over Moore and Barkley impress me the most, even more so than the first Leonard Fight.

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.

Duran was a phenom at Lightweight and an amazing fighter. He did well at Welterweight, and against all adds pulled some good results at Middlwegiht.

He is a great fighter and a Top 10 pound for pound and Top 3 Lightweight in my opinion.

The No Mas fight hurts his legacy a little. I do still believe Duran had a lot of heart which was proved with the Hearns fight.
