    Actually no, not really.

    He had trouble with great fighters that had tricky styles and gave every person they fought the same type of troubles. All fighters do and did. It wasn't something specific to Duran. The fighters that gave him trouble gave everyone trouble.

    That's kind of what really good fighters do. Especially if you moved up from as low as super-bantamweight to be fighting those skilled boxer/punchers way past your prime and best weight.

        Now picture that being Crawford who is a much better defender than Leonard.

          Comparisons are to easy. But rarely accurate. I like Crawford, but I would never put in a conversation about Benitez and Duran. That's just me however.
