Roberto Duran

You are bias in almost everything you say and it's mostly race related. It's easy to see by reading your posts when people don't call you on it first. You prefer the latter year greats over todays fighters so you rule out the fact that there may be better fighters today than were in the 70's. Let me inform you of a few things since you are too ignorant to understand the golf reference I made or boxing in general.

Tommy Morrison would have knocked most of Ali's opponents out cold. He was basically a white Joe Frazier. Wepner? Are you kidding me? He wouldn't have woken up at all had he faced either Klitschko. He would've been lucky to see the 3rd rd. You are blind if you can't see a difference between the Klitschko's and the competition Ali faced in the 70's.

Can you imagine Frazier or Norton beating Vitali? No ****in way.

And that takes your ******ity to a new level. There seems to be a number of posters like you in here today.

Sorry guys......

In my defence I did say usual posters only.

Forgive me.

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

I'd have to take the SRL win over any of his wins. Leonard had every advantage and still didnt have enough. He actuallly made SRL a better, smarter fighter.

Word on the street in NSB is that he's no different from Hatton.

I cant help but think you are refering to me. LOL. They're just similar in their pressure styles and holding and hitting. Duran had more dimensions and was the over all better fighter.

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

You have to. I could imagine if he had quit like that in the boxing Scene era. It would be a crazed witch hunt. He simply quit out of frustration and in my book thats worse than Ortiz/Maidana because he didnt take any true punishment. Even still he's a great fighter and gets overrated much more than under.

You should have called it: 1800-1900 boxer thread. Then put what you actually wanted to say, in the description. that would have kept those greatest, latest fools away.

JCC actually won when he faced higher opposition. Duran sadly failed every time except for beating leonard 1 out of 3 fights.

That's a pretty big "except" though, Isn't it?

"Duran failed everytime he stepped him against higher competition.......Except when he beat SUGAR RAY LEONARD at Welterweight"

Duran was a natural Lightweight and beat one of the greatest WW Champions of all time. Pretty decent, really.

He also beat HOF fighters on 6 different occasions. Is that 'higher competition'?

Other than the left hook, that could not be further from the truth. Their styles were nothing alike.

I forgive you because you are only 19 but you seriously need to go back and look at both fighters a little before saying they are nothing alike.

And I think you are ******. So who's right?
