      Good question.. For me are equal in there respective wins. So it depends which match had more anticipation or build-up coming into the fight.

        just imo, but i feel duran over sugar is the better win. i think joe was closer to ali in terms of overall boxing ability than duran was to leonard, and duran is one of the atg at 135. ray was just much better than him and peaked at a higher weight than him. i think duran had to do more to get that W than frazier did. nothing against smoking joe, an amazing win over an undefeated Ali.

          Duran. Ali just came back to boxing, and had a little rust. If only his athletically prime years weren't taken from him. Plus Duran moved up to WW and beat Leonard. That's godly.

          Not taking anything away from Joe's win, but just keeping ng it real.

                  Durans. Ali wasn't the same fighter that he was pre-lay off, it was clear to everyone pretty much its just Ali's mouth made people think he was at a better stage than he was at that point.

                    Duran definitely I think. He was older, smaller, considered to be a little past his best with bad training habits and moving up two more divisions from his best weight against a prime, undefeated ATG at his best weight. Epic win.
