    roberto duran to be inducted to IHOF in june ???

    Roberto Duran RECORD 103-16-0 (70 KO) that's crazy i think he used to fight twice a day for that record, lol


    "Duran was one of the best lightweight fighters of all-time; He was also one of the best pound-for-pound battlers ever; He was an aggressive, hard hitter who came to fight; He tangled with anyone who was willing, regardless of size; This was proven time and time again (through the years) as he moved upward in the weight classes

    During his career, Roberto defeated such men as "Sugar" Ray Leonard, Carlos Palomino, Jose "Pipino" Cuevas, Iran Barkley, Davey Moore, Esteban DeJesus, Hiroshi Kobayashi, Ken Buchanan, Saoul Mamby and Edwin Viruet

    Herb Goldman ranked Duran as the #3 All-Time Lightweight; Roberto will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on June 10,

    This is great i didn't know that was happening this year

    Duran was the greatest lightweight that ever lived and the only guys who come close are Gans, Leonard, and Pea. Duran is also easily top 10-15 all-time.

        **** whether or not he's a top 10 of all time or not, he has the greatest beard of all time, that’s what really matters.

          Duran has 1 win over an all time great, pernell arguably beat 3 all time greats. Whitaker would have beat them if they fought each other, i know it. Duran looks great against a certain style of fighters and it ain't pernell's at all. I think sweet pea would simply take a page out of el radar's book and make him miss non-stop for the entire fight.

              Who loves boxing more than Duran? Phenominal abilities but noone was more hungry than Duran. Almost 120 fights. Now THAT'S old-school tough guy.
