Duran lost biggest fights yet PFP great.

I agree, at LW, imo, Duran does not have a single win against a top 50 ATG. I'll have another look but at the top of my head I can't think of any. But that doesn't mean he wasn't a great LW, he beat everyone he was supposed, top contenders, former/present/future champions, what more is he supposed to?

On top of all that, he moved up 2 divisions and fought one of the greatest welters in history, went to war with him took some big shots and won the fight. He had a bad time against Hearns but he lasted 15 with Hagler...standing at 5'6'' he was fighting one of the greatest middleweights ever and one of the most dangerous fighters of his era.

He then beat one of the best mw titlists of the late 80s in Iran Barkley, just look at what Barkley did in his own career. Duran is a top 10 ATG. There can't be any arguments on that.

All of this. He was 5'6" fighting at MW passed his prime and still won a title. That alone puts him in my top ten of all time. The other stuff is just extra. The OP is freaking dumb ass. smh

Just a side note Barkley won the mw title by knocking hearns out in three... So triangle theories don't work first of all and that was a very good win.

Durans win where he moved up to beat prime Leonard is greater than any win on pacs + floyds + Cottos resumes combined

This is such a ****** thread

Duran has an amazing lightweight resume, top 3 ever at that weight

Then beat srl in his biggest fight

Then old, past prime and kinda fat, he fought atg fighters in their primes


Duran fought everyone over decades... I can't even believe this is an actual thread

well thank boxrec experts for that

Where are you sugar?What ATG did Duran beat at lightweight?

What atg did floyd beat at any weight?

[I Love Jesus!]

I don't rank Leonard top ten all time due the said fact mentioned he only had 7 title defenses for his whole career I weigh guys heavily who defend a title. Duran gets a pass for his lightweight resume which is not all that. His welterweight resume is poor and his 154 and 160 reigns were just sideshows.

Duran all time when I rank him at each weight class he participated in stacks up this way.

Duran 135 - B no top ten ATG to compare skill with at the weight.
Duran 147 - C one defeat if Leonard does not equate to dominance. Duran lost key battles at this his second weight class. Losing to Benitez and Leonard in the rematch Duran never successfully defended his title at 147.
Duran 154 - D won the WBA belt from Davy Moore koed in his next fight against tommy hearns, never defended the belt he won!
Duran 160 - D won the belt from Iran Barkley never defended the title he won in his fourth weight class.

So that's three weight classes he competed in that he never defended a title he won. I rank him top 30-50 depending on the mood I'm in. Lol

Is this guy the worst poster of all time? Thats a better question

haha saying that makes you look as ****** as your avatar


PAST PRIME DURAN UD LEONARD > JUDAH WHOLE CAREER + YOUR LIFE COMBINED

Thinking that he is serious makes you look even more ******.

I love Duran but I don't think he was up after 12 rounds. I just re watched that fight a few days ago.. it was close, very very close but Hagler was winning for sure.

he was up on the cards.

Brandish and Tooool.
Childish and Trooool.

Duran is one of my favorites,I love Duran.I just don't understand how every
fighter in the world is judged on who they 'beat' except for Duran.

Why are you trying to make out Duran has a weak resume? He's a top 20 ATG without question to me. He had an outstanding run at LW. He beat the likes of Buchanan, Marcel, Kobayashi, Ishimatsu etc and avenged his loss to a great in DeJesus. and of course has probably the greatest win of his generation vs a prime Sugar Ray.

His greatness is undeniable.

most ignorant post I've seen here, and that says a lot

I'm pretty sure he was being ironic due to the idiocy of this thread.
