leonard duran 2

Those detractors are idiots. The No Mas fight has no effect on Duran's place in history for me. His best days were behind him at that point and he had already proven that he could beat Leonard at 147. If he had been able to win in New Orleans I might rank him one or two spots higher than I do, but his quitting does nothing to tarnish the phenomenal career he had.

You have succeeded in an endeavor that so many others have tried, but failed at - making a convincing counter-argument to the one I posted. I wholeheartedly support your point of view.

Duran at his best was one of the very best we've ever had. I kind of understand why he was frustrated in that fight dealing with Ray's tactics. But, I really believe many people thought it was OK because he was Roberto Duran...
