Let me tell you something...

[Salardo]

I just read through this thread which asked which fight was "the single greatest win in boxing history". And I was puzzled when I read that tons of people wrote "Leonard vs Duran I". I read comments like this.
And here is the problem: A lot of people (myself included) scored this fight for Leonard or a draw. It was a close fight and lots of rounds were very close. We all know Leonard fought Duran toe to toe and the truth is in a lot of the rounds, Leonard was the guy who landed the bigger shots. Listen, if anybody scores it for Duran by 1 point or 2 points AT BEST, I got no problem with that. I personally scored it as a draw and after watching the fight I had the feeling that if anyone edged it, it was Leonard.
So for me it makes more sense to scored it for Leonard by 1 or 2 points instead of scoring it for Duran by 1 or 2 points.
That being said, this is NOT the "single greatest win in boxing history" because so many people didn't even score it for Duran. Even the commentary team felt that it was razor close and that probably Leonard edged it.

Nahhh.... greatest win was Louis vs Max 2

And for those who haven't watched the fight, here it is in good quality:

Score the rounds and then give me your scorecard. I still have my scorecard. I had it a draw.

Then you and all those other people are ****ing ******ed and should cease scoring fights immediately.

Maybe it is you who should reevalute his scoring skills and his communication skills as well.
Post your scorecard. But then again, if you can't score, what is your scorecard worth?
By the way, 2 of the official judges had Duran winning by only 1 point.

Look, kid : I don't exactly have a plethora of scorecards and round-by-rounds breakdowns from fights that are over 30 years old lying around my house that I can just pull out of my ass anytime some 'tard on the internet challenges me on an internet boxing forum.

I do, however, recall Duran winning 4 of the first 5 rounds and 4 of the final 5 rounds rather convincingly - The only exceptions being the opening and closing rounds, which he clearly gave away. That right there makes 8 rounds by itself and that's not even counting rounds 9 and 10 which were also very convincing Duran rounds.

Point is : You're a complete **** knuckle for thinking that Ray Leonard did anything other than get his ass kicked in that fight.

By the way, 2 of the official judges had Duran winning by only 1 point.

So? For the record : One judge, Angelo Poletti, scored 10 of the 15 rounds even for ****'s sake. Besides, since when are boxing judges known for the competence in deciding bouts?

You further my assumption of you being a blockheaded **** who is dumber than a bag of hammers with such assertions.

In closing : You suck.

Today I learned Leonard Duran 1 wasn't a close fight.
