Duran is perhaps the most overrated boxer in the history of the sport

[a-raines21]

Hopkins and Mayweather have NEVER beaten anyone on the level of Ray Leonard. One win over an all-time great is better than none.

Mayweather and Hopkins have many Barkley, Moore, DeJesus, Buchanan-level wins against opposition such as Castillo, Corrales, Tarver, Trinidad.

Duran lost 16 fights because he fought until he was 50 years old.

its like this..... leon spinkx beat ali, who is possibly the no.1 atg...... does that make his resume more impressive than that on the klitchko brothers? mike tyson? even david haye?

bernard is 44....... he doesnt have ne where near 16 losses....

That's because he hasn't fought 120 times.

Duran is not comparable to Hopkins anyway, boxers age differently. Hopkins has aged better than just about any other boxer in history. He is actually better now than he was in his 20's.

Ali was 37 years old and had Parkinson's. Spinks never won another significant fight.

It's not a comparable situation. Leonard was in his prime and Duran had many other big wins as well, the win over Leonard was just his very best.

even still....... when you lose 7 times, it time to hang it up..... 16 losses is a journeymens mentallity........

Sugar Ray Robinson lost 19 times.

another attemp to discredit mayweather, while hyping up duran.......... like seriously, duran was a journeymen....... es not a atg...... theres not enough room on the list for journeymen........... if hes on that list for who he fought v. who he actually beat then you have to put fernando vargas on the list as well as ricardo mayorga on the list..... period

Here is what separates Duran from Vargas and Mayorga
Duran
won 103 fights (KO 70)

The man won over 100 fights. He knocked out 70 fools.

That is greatness son.

Could Floyd fight 119 times in his career with out losing? He lost to Jose Luis Castillo the first time around. Oooops!

its comparable in the sense of beating an atg....... are u sure ali had parkensons in that fight? and shane is 37 years old.... thats not really old...........

imo if u are gonna rank duran as an atg than u absolutley have to rank him behind the likes of tyson, hopkins, jones, mayweather, lennox, holyfield, and maybe even pacquiao

[a-raines21]

Sugar Ray Robinson lost 19 times.

in his era, they fought every weekend. and even still, he probably fought because he had too.........

i doubt that after fighting hagler, hears and leonar, duran had to keep fighting

[andrewcuff]

Leonard redeemed himself with a close win over hagler.... if not for that, his atg ranking would be late 40's early 50's imo

Redeemed himself - are you serious? Before this Leonard had wins over ATGs Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns and you'd put him late 40s to early 50s? Wow, I'd love to see your ATG list.

Ali was well past his best in that fight. Compare the difference in the fighter that fought Spinks and the one that fought Cleveland Williams.

imo if u are gonna rank duran as an atg than u absolutley have to rank him behind the likes of tyson, hopkins, jones, mayweather, lennox, holyfield, and maybe even pacquiao

You'd put Mayweather in front of Roberto Duran? Lol. That's one of the funniest claims I've heard on this site and that is saying something!
