On this Day : Duran edges Leonard

[CatchAndShoot]

One of my all-time favorite fights.

Makes me sad to think that we live in the "let it marinate" era these days.

This type of fight would never happen nowadays, #1, because there are no fighters as good as those 2, and #3, there's so much money to be made without making mega fights, and just milking a boxer with a big name for as long as he can, wihtout having to take a huge risk.

The 1 fight that came even close to this caliber of fight was made way way way too late.

[BOXEO _]

Bring back 15 rounds

and on this day the coward "hit and dont hit" mentality was born and took over the black ******'s throughout america!

My man, the idea of hitting and not getting hit was born a longggggg time before 1980.

Amen to that.

Arguably, the greatest fight of all time.
