[MASTER OF you]

great fight! duran is a top five all time great! no doubt about it! and the best part is all his major fights are on film and can be watched on youtube unlike the other highly ranked ATGs who fought in the first half of the 20th century. I just watched the brawl in montreal yesterday. barkley was a pretty good fighter who was always in exciting fights. barkley should be in the hall of fame. he's done enough to be in he is a champ in multiple weight classes and he has 2 wins over the great tommy hearns. there are less deserving fighters in the hall.

This was a remarkable performance by Roberto Duran at age 40 against a skilled 28 year old champion..

Excellent ATG in Roberto Duran, Manos de Piedras.

One of the most beautiful fight to see. I love those battle where a great (Roberto Duran) is fighting a young blood champion (Iran Barkley) in a exciting and entertaining fight.


PS: I agree with Shoulder Roll that we need to extract all the knowledge of Roberto Duran, while he is among us.
