    Why is robert duran so higly regarded?

    i see so many list listing him as a GOAT but what makes him better than money may weather ? i had a look at his wiki and he was fighting bums until sugar ray
    from that point on he started losing because of tougher competition

            Just log off,, holy cow, i dont think i have ever seen a more horrible post, or at least in a long while

            Duran was the lightweight champ for about a decade and was 72-1 with wins over buchanon, estaban, etc....

            past his prime, and up in weight he beat SRL, hung tough with hagler and benitez, destroyed moore, and beat iran barkley for the mw title....

              He didn't make excuses to avoid Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, or anyone.

                    Stop making threads and learn about boxing.

                    Duran beat DeJesus, Buchanan, Palomino, Kobayashi, Lampkin, Viruet, Bizzaro, Fernandez etc

                    All before he'd even beat Leonard.
