It's not the win that might have happend, it's the shame of quitting, particularly from a guy who build an image of machismo. It's the setback of that one incident. If you'd pardon the football analogy, it's like a team driving for a score in the red zone and a 15-yard penalty kills the drive and any chance of scoring. Conversely, "no mas" was the penalty that kept Duran out of the top three. Merely losing the fight had no effect on his ranking, it 's the way he chose to lose it that did.

Originally posted by Barnburner View PostI think Duran's LW resume/accomplishments are over-rated.
Yes I said it.
And yes, you excersized your 1st. ammendment rights.
Originally posted by NChristo View PostI'm not missing any point, if Duran didn't quit and went on too win the fight and have another win against Leonard he still does not move upto 3, him quitting doesn't effect his resume that much given what he achieved.

Is there anything in Duran's resume/accomplishments that isn't overrated (as
far as you're concerned)?
I meant in general at LW he just gets ranked too high, not that he was completely over-rated as a fighter, otherwise I wouldn't have him at #9 or whatever.
His resume is clearly not as good as Benny Leonard's or Carlos Ortiz', in my opinion.
