    Maybe Duran just shades it bearing in mind a lot of his most famous fights came above his natural weight and past his prime.
    That's the only 2 it could be. Anyone voting for someone else is a nuthugger or don't know **** about boxing.

            and im more of a fan of duran, i just wish he hadn't let that leonard win go to his head, he turned to crap after that fight imo, was very good fighter, but no longer the atg duran
            Benitez is no small win. Sugar Ray Leonard put all kinds of stipulation on Hagler and Duran, which cheapen his great wins for me somewhat.

            Also Duran didn't really beat Barkley. The fix was in. It was a close but clear victory by Barkley, but Atlas and Bernstein scored it or Barkley. Think Toney vs Jirov.

            I'm not denigrating paast greats but these are the facts

                And I ****ing LOVE Duran, but I'm telling you like I see it. Obviously you haven't seen it if you are acting like it was out of the question that Barkley won.

                    100% you haven't watched it lol. Duran came on strong in the end and knocked Barkley down and almost finished him. But Barkley won like 8 of the rounds I think.

                    Pac is the greatest since Muhammed Ali and he will show it very soon. Everyone will come back to this thread and eat dat crow dough.

                      If he loses, would you agree that Pac is not the greatest since Ali?
