    pernell and floyd would not stand and trade with duran and would box him
    Duran looked so good in Montreal because he wasn't 200 lbs. before the fight, drinking and doing lines off stripper's *******. Like in the rematch.

      MIKE TRAINER GOT THE LAST LAUGH!

      With Duran somewhere over 200 lbs., this Leonard’s guy Mike Trainer learned after sending a spy to Panama to verify the weighty rumors, Trainer offered Duran $8 million, eclipsing the $1.5 million he made beating Leonard in June. It was now late in September 1980 and Trainer told Duran’s people that if they wanted the $8 million, he had to fight Leonard on November 25th. With around seven weeks to train, Duran shed the weight but never really got in fighting shape. As a result of this, and Duran’s people not reading the contract Trainer had prepared, the ring side was at least 22 by 22 feet, some say 24 feet. It looked more like somebody’s backyard, not a boxing ring as Leonard danced and dazzled Duran for the most part.
      Damn shame....

        Nobody is denying Pea has skills, but once Duran lands its over. Pea is a lightweight and not even big in that weight class.
        An old pernell took shots from oscar and Tito.. I think he would be able to stay upright vs duran

          Probably as good as a 50/50 clash of style fight gets. I honestly have no clue.
