    Wasn't he like 80 years old when he lost to Simms ? That's like saying why did Ali lose to Leon Spinks

      I agree with both of these.

        He doesn't dance around and he's aggressive so he is not that skilled.

        He can only do meaningless things like:

        -counterpunch
        -lead
        -cut off the ring
        -slip and roll with punches
        -mix it up to the body and head
        -win a brutal war with Dejesus in their 2nd fight and then put on a boxing/defensive clinic in the rubber match.

            Agree, I have no idea what this video was all about.

            "Oh look, that's a fake jab, OMG, did you see that probing fake or what, look he can go to the left and throw a jab at the same time. He's out of position and what does he DO? He throws a jab to get back in position people, WOW

              He loves to make boxing seem so much more complicated than it is. Thinks every fight is won by smarts and not by some guys just having superior physical gifts such as natural speed, power, chin etc.

                Duran fought Barkley for Christ's sake.
