    You such a fucking idiot. Duran at 16 was at 120 and Mayweather was 106.

        Doesn't matter what weight they were at such a young age...The body can STILL develop at 22-23...My older brother who was shorter then me...came back from Iraq taller then me and the dude is 23. Also...

        There is a reason why ALOT of people consider Duran the greatest out of the 4....because of his little size...You should have known that by now but I'm an idiot?

          Leonard because he had the extra championship quality over all of them

          Against Hearns he was being outboxed, but dug deep and found the punches that mattered when he was losing the fight.

          Against Duran he found Duran's weakness which was to frustrate him and give him movement that is how Laing and Benitez beat him aswell they both frustrated him.

          Against Hagler he outslicked a bigger man who was a monster of a man physically at his weight.

          Against Benitez he found the punches that mattered when the pressure was on Leonard delivered and against GREAT fighters.

          He stood there and ****** with natural LMW Kalule and took it to a natural LWH in Lalonde. Make no mistake about it Leonard was very skilled but he hit hard and he had balls and championship quality to close the show.

            I think Duran v Hagler would of been an unbelievable fight if they had BOTH been natural LW. One thing that defined Hagler to me was his beard and his ability to mix it up inside and Duran is in a similar mould only more skilled he was a better counter puncher and excellent at fighting from mid-range and he threw viscous uppercuts to the body.

            I think i would favour Duran to beat him if they were both natural LW.

              Lets be real...at the time of watching the 2nd Duran vs SRL fight. I was a HUGE SRL fan but...what SRL did to Duran 2nd fight was over doing it. He acted like an ass...it didn't even look like a fight. I don't even consider that a victory...People jumped on Duran for quiting but I was more angry with Leonard

              It looked more like

                But you have to accept the fact that Leonard exposed a weakness in Duran he was easy to frustrate, because Laing and Benitez outfoxed him with movement and frustrated the hell out of him, especially Benitez.

                  Nothing wrong with showboating...just as long as you know when to stop. SRL that night...didn't know when to stop

                    I give props to Duran though he was a great fighter his problems started, because he had over 70 fights by the time he fought Benitez and was probably on the slide and he was never really a LMW despite the win over Moore plus he did struggle with weight too.

                      Well, I think one of the judges wasn't on the take.
