because the first fight was close and a rematch is in order to see if this guy duran is for real or did he get lucky?
well he got lucky because he never beat ray again or any other atg again after that victory, so no you dont get ranked top ten atg losing against all fo the other greats of your era.
it's not like he was jose luis castillo...Last edited by Big_L; 02-02-2014, 11:46 AM.Comment

Beating Ray the first time on top of an ATG LW career is enough for me to say he's an ATG. You also seem to forget that Duran started his career lower than lightweight and fought the best after the best in each division. He came up short when he was way past his prime yes, but he gave it a good go. He also beat Iran Barkley, which was a pretty damn good win at MW.
I still can't see how you can deny this man his place in the top 20, borderline top 10.
top 30-40 and if i really think about it he may drop further.
not one defense of a title outside of 135 thats not top ten or top 20 atg materialComment

there are fighters who actually dominated more than one weight class duran dominated weak opposition at 135 when he moved up he lost to every big name there was, so no he is not top ten off one victory, guys like sweet pea moved up and was able to dominate more than one weight class they get credit for that duran would be getting credit for losing.
