Duran was 1-2 vs. SRL, 0-1 vs. Hearns, and 0-1 vs. Hagler. 1-4 vs. the rest of the Big 4 combined. But he's consistently ranked ahead of them in all-time rankings. I've never understood this.

Most people have Leonard ranked number one of the big four. Although he fought fewer times than any of them he did beat all 3 of the others in the big four.

In Duran's case he was an all-time great at lightweight and still managed to move up in weight and be competitive against the bigger SRL and Hagler. That's why he is thought of so highly.

They actually hinted at who was the number one guy when they were discussing why Roy Jones wasn't number one. Just go to EPSN.COM/Boxing and look at the Roy Jones video.
