    I love Duran but he did beat a lot of bums.

    How come you didn't pick Esteban DeJesus?
    Went off of Memory didn't go scan his entire Boxrec then put together a list but yeah forgot about DeJesus

      I guess not especially for a fan that may not know history well, those names would mean nothing to them BUT during his ERA those was considered Very Good Opponents and Wins for Duran

        Seems like you’re obsessed with it they way you keep bringing it up. No one cares about your kids. I couldn’t care less about your kids. You’re old, grow up and stop trolling.

            If Canelo was green then SRL was definitely green when Duran beat him. But I forgot different standards for certain fighters.
            Implying racism is an auto-like from certain people. Pretty sure Duran didn’t demand any debilitating weight restrictions.

              good point about the double standard.

              Duran is an ATG and many rate him above Floyd. Most rate his best win as his decision over 23 year old SRL when he was 28 and still in his prime.

              But when Floyd at age 36 beat 23 year old Canelo now 23 year olds are green and it wasnt a big win.

                  Duran was the HUGE underdog against Moore. Most thought he was like “cashing out”. Instead of the usual party and BS between fights he came in focused and ready.

                  I think we owe it to educate people who may not know.
                  Does that mean Grant's one of Lennox's resume wins?

                      I’ve been fighting since I was 7 years old. It’s always the non athletic keyboard warriors saying that same ****** line. How many fights have you won?
