    Why did Duran???

    Move up to SMW after winning the MW title in such spectacular way from Barkley?? That was the ******est thing he ever did! When you're 37 and have achieved all that you could, you don't MOVE UP in weight to fight another legend. He just ruined his legacy.

      Because Leonard offered him like $10 mil or something so Duran could pay off the IRS.

            This is the truth.

            I've heard that he didn't get a penny from his fight against William Joppy either. He had to pay his debts.

            Whatever Duran did after the Barkley fight hardly ruins his legacy in my opinion.

              But he missed so many of his punches, I couldn't believe when I saw the punchstats. Surely that didn't make him look impressive either.

                Against Leonard?

                I don't think anyone (aside from maybe Flawless) judges Duran based on that fight.

                    How can you do this? I always laugh when I hear this line...

                    As if, everything that Leonardo Davinci drew, painted or sculpted after the Mona Lisa ruined his legacy.....LOL
