So now a fighter gets discredited for winning and a fighter gets credit for losing?

      but to be fair, gatti is in the hall of fame for being the ultimate blood and guts warrior not for his skill level.

            To be fair to Larry, if Floyd's fans acknowledged context they wouldn't be able to brag half as much.

              So Hagler, Leonard and Hearns get no credit for their Duran wins?
              Who said that?

                And yes, old...

                32 years old and 80 fights into a career is OLD.

                yes winning over a hall of famer is more impressive then losing to another hall of famer....you get 0 credit for losing

                and duran was no damn career light weight he was a 154 champ and former ww champ when he fought hagler
                Floyd is a 154 pound champ, but needs a cw to fight another 54 champ and won't fight GGG at 154.

                    Pac has done the same exact thing. Facing Rios, De La Hoya, Mosley, and Marquez twice at a weight he doesn't belong.

                      Why would be he be fighting a Lightweight?

                      Why would Duran be fighting a Middleweight?
