Roberto Duran is incomprehensibly great.

Crème de la Crème

Still... the fact that he was even remotely competitive against Hagler is amazing. Does anyone think that Pacquiao would be competitive with Hopkins at 160?

Anyone worth talking to, nope.

[!! Shawn]

you realize that's not the same thing....right?

You are right, Hagler was much better.

Roberto Duran started out at 119lb, just fyi.

srry i wasn't paying attention

For my money, this is one of the best fights of all time. Wow.

[Shabba Rank$]

we all know Duran did not even come close to beating Hagler.

that being said. I've been popping in my duran dvd's as of late and he's still a damn spectacle to watch.

I have been watching him since 135lbs. Definitely a legend.

I hope you do realize you are a very ****** person... to begin with, those last 3 fights you mention were after 30 years as a professional boxer and 5 weightclasses above his natural one... that's how big of a warrior by nature he was, dude only stopped fighting cause an accident forced him to when he was 50 yrs old... fighting was such a casual thing to him that he took the tommy hearns fight (the most dangerous fight he could take, against a dude whose style and reach advantage was all wrong for him) and partied for two weeks straight with the money bob arum gave him as down payment for the fight thinking 'I don't gotta worry about the fight, I'm a whoop him when it comes around'.Of course he now laughs at his own error which he says he realized as soon as the received the first big punch from tommy and it "stirred all that woman and booze I had in the head" (and I'm not saying he would've won that fight, just telling the story he told about that fight in a spanish espn interview)... and as for the Hagler fight, well.. he was a natural lightweight very much past his prime and went 15 competitive rounds with one of the best middleweights of all time who was in his prime and had won by knockout in all of his previous tittle defenses... Now check this out and learn a little somethin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NLUI...endscreen&NR=1

I completely disagree but I liked the 'Hattoned by hearns' bit
