The Roberto Duran Appreciation Thread

[UnDeniable]

Yeah I'd have Duran extremely high on the all time list. How would you compare Leonard to Duran in terms of legacy/ATG position?

Duran is greater, more longevity.

Leonard had the best head to head record out of the fab 4 but Duran was smaller than all the others

How are you man? Leonard and Hearns were both weight scalers, winning championships through the various weight classes. But these two did not have long dominance in a single weight class. Hagler was not a weight scaler but he reigned at his division for a long period of time. Man. Duran was both... His reign at 135 alone would have guaranteed him a spot on any ATG list... So was his 3 other championship runs at 3 other weight classes.

Yeah true.

Where do you have Leonard though? His prime came and went pretty quickly, but he was one of the most all-round fighters I've ever seen and his resume is superb.

His father was Mexican I believe.

No wonder, he does look mexican (his face structure and his height).

I watched Duran's Beyond the Glory yesterday and I ordered Hands of Stone today! I've started rewatching some of his 135lb fights as well!

I've watched the Fab 4 docu, but haven't read the book, what's it like?
