Roberto Duran 5 Best Wins. Is he really….

[nacho daddy]

Roberto and Manny the 2 bravest fighters in the last 60 years at least. Duran a short armed fighter NOT ON PED'S got fat in between fight drunk and partier moved up almost 30 lbs to take on the best and beat 90% of them. Hagler was killing every WW and JM but didnt even mess up Durans hair who was a blown up LW. Manny almost the same. fought the best in countless divisions

You just became a boxing "fan" right? Such a ****** question. His 135 of reign is better than most others careers. What he did above that weight just enhances him even more.

[just the facts]

I would say off the top of my head:

Carlos Palomino (Hall Of Famer)
Ken Buchanan (Hall Of Famer)
Iran Barkley
Davey Moore (Recently Inducted In The Hall Finally)

Duran legacy is largely based on what he was able to Accomplished at 135 back in the 70's which is why he is STILL Considered by most the Greatest Lightweight Of All Times

Wrong Davey Moore. The Davey Moore that got into the hall was a great featherweight from the 50s not the Jr Middleweight Duran beat in the 80s.

Got It! Thanks for the Correction!

The same people who were agreeing with him are the same individuals who constantly accuse people of, “not knowing sh** about boxing”. The irony.

What trollish thread is this huh?

Look man, Duran is simply the best, he started out at Featherweight, won his first title at Lightweight (cleaned out 135 and skipped 140) and took on the greatest Welterweight, Jr. Middleweight and Middleweight of all times with no catchweights. Cleary being the smallest and the oldest of the 4Kings, can you not see how amazing that is?

Your boy Floyd even put Roberto Duran 2 in his ATG list above people like Ali. Floyd didn't even rank Louis, Robinson, or Armstrong. But to answer your question here:

1. Sugar Ray Leonard - GOAT Welterweight
2. Iran Barkley - Beat Tommy Hearns 2x
3. Davey Moore - Beat Wilfredo Benitez
4. Carlos Palomino - HOF comparable to DLH Level
5. Esteban De Jesus - HOF comparable to JMM Level
