145-146 143-144 142-146 in a 15 round fight for a natural 135lber against one of the consensus best Middleweights of all time, and you dont consider that almost pulling it off?
And 71 fights into ANY career is a lot of ring wear, and 1980 when 30 was considered old for fighters at the weight, yes Duran was old.
Consider Benitez was shot by the time he was 26. SRL himself was shot beyond recognition at 34.
People like you look back with rose tinted glasses thinking that circumstances were the same. 30 in 1980 is like 35 for a fighter today.
