Ron Miles Yeah I wondering about that myself. That was HUGE! Either or that or Duran/Leonard were really Lego characters. ;D

Insisted upon by Angelo Dundee? Gotta wonder since RL spent the whole time running away from RD.

Roky Erickson rocks hahahahaha yea he did lol...

💀💀💀💀💀

Leonard's team the likely culprit, he needed to be able to move without being cornered.

More like frustrated....he would hate fighting floyd😂😂😂😂😂

He first claimed to have quit because he had stomach cramps. But I think most boxing fans knew the real reason. The reason that you stated above. What Duran didn`t realize back then was that he humiliated himself a lot more by quitting, instead of finishing the fight, regardless of how it would have ended. He made the choice to lose by quitting rather than by decision or knock out.

@@mickey8355what’s your point? Leonard was fighting like a 🐱

​@@Mendoza1414SRL dominated this entire fight. What are you talking about? Lol. Duran quit he was getting beaten so badly!

Being known for "No mas" a quitter was far worse.

Yeah. Ok. 😂😆🤣 That makes perfect sense. Lol

Even when he fell he made it look beautiful...One of the Greats !

A ballet of violence

Run run run like always

@@akon6705 better than being a quitter and a loser like Duran. Talk about having no heart. He wasn't even hurt

He could brawl but brawling is the reason he lost some of his fights. Can’t be both.

@SnD340 Anyone can brawl, Sugar Ray was very good at it but obviously it wasn't his speciality. Can do it and mastery are two different ballparks.

​@SC2JZ his only loss in prime was to Duran...an all time great...thats it

@@robbie192 which is why he lost in the first fight. Duran is a legend but Leonard can brawl but not out brawl someone like Duran. In the rematch, Leonard was much more elusive and smart. Rather than staying in the pocket and trying to outwork Duran.

BrWithFMJ Oh really? What about Oliver McCall quitting and crying ? At least Duran didn't cry like a woman. I'd say Tyson biting Holifield ear off was strange? I mean really?

BrWithFMJ And now Rigondeaux

BrWithFMJ Clay-Ali vs Liston fight 1 and 2, both of the fights were quite weird.

canelo kovalev was pretty weird too

this isnt even weird lol its just a fighter who didnt want to get embarrassed for any longer and quit

But he QUIT that’s something he’ll die with knowing that he’s a quitter

@@erickelewood6482 he quit one time so that makes him a quitter?

@@flaming_21savage52 yup you should see all the shit ppl give roger maywaether aboit the Chavez fight Duran quit he pne of the greatest but "no mas" will always be attached to him

Sugar Ray punched him so hard he scared him into a different weightclass

Duran was a good fighter. This is just a fight that he lost like many of the greatest.

I was completing the last trimester in my mama's stomach but I heard the fight through them walls though lol

12 for me.

This fight is a great example of how much of a real impact has psychological factors in a bout. Duran was´nt even getting beaten down, not his body that is, but his spirit sure was bruised

Humiliation,srl was pissing around lime he was ali...showed no respect and mocked him...infront of the world..so he thought no more...

@@captainpotato6856 yeah, he quit because he's a loser.

Oh yeah there’s quite a bit more here

Durán estaba tirado tenía cuatro días sin comer y estuvo dos meses tomando diuréticos y colocándose inyecciones para bajar de peso no le permitían comer bien y lo metían en una tina por horas con agua caliente en la boca El culpable fue el manager de él que aceptó una pelea muy pronta pensando en dinero

+jmyart97 and if you can't punish him then that's probably why he's taunting you

He only quit because he felt that Rey wasn’t fighting more of just pacing around the ring and running away instead of boxing

Exactly!!

@@abrahamgarces5543 lol ray outboxed him this fight and got into his head. Same thing Duran did to him in the first fight.

Prime ray beat prime Duran as well

@@brysonmack98 duran was 31 and leonard was 26 so no

@@brysonmack98 nope sugar ray never beat duran at his peak, duran was not fully fit in this fight he did not get in full shape after all partying, he should not have taken this fight immediately

Cris Bonilla I’m sure he was in shape enough not to quit. He was weak in the head.

Larry Li 31 is prime.... Deontay wilder is prime 33

Greatest of all time.

Ehh, i'm not so sure. Duran was landing some heavy blows and was causing damage to sugar Ray.

No chance he was gonna KO him, u are just delusional

Of course SRL was the better fighter on the day. Basic facts. They are both legends though.

He was actually only behind by one point one one card and 2 points on the two anothers officially.

Suga was whippin that man's ass!

if he wasn't such a showboat I would actually have respect for him. Also, when you win a fight b/c a guy says he'd outty, and then you go crazy celebrating, that says it all. If I was in a battle and a guy gave up and just quit, I would feel robbed. Dude was no Mike Tyson - Tyson never showboated and acted the fool, he just kicked ass.

@@fastfootedone so I guess u dont like football or basketball huh? And tyson whipped ass but talked shyt n stopped whooping ass when someone stood there n fought back

@@fastfootedone and what have you achieved in sports that gives you the right to have an opinion on pro sportsman???????

@@fastfootedone Tyson the same one who said he doesn't talk to women unless he fornicate with them????? You're a joke

See the history of duran you will see why he loss

I HEAR YOU!!!

Amen!!

Robert M. Storm outboxed? only in that he did not box. he clowned around and ran around the ring. what he did was outside of what is called boxing. duran kept telling him to fight and leonard didnt'. duran ended the farce. look at leonard's foolish reaction after such a hollow victory. taunting an opponent, refusing to engage, these are not signs of outsmarting an opponent. they are desperate shortcuts that people with no class or honor take. pity you admire that.

Getrealpeeps you hear a fool

Barbie Reynolds Leonard looked foolish? Duran cried and went into hiding after the fight. Follow another sport, ok?

Rage quit? If he was angry, why didn’t he beat the other guy up?

BoyDanny93 that's not true. The brawler will sometimes win by stoppage

Klefty Ko BARELY!!!!

BoyDanny93 Duran beat Sugar Ray in their first fight, so your argument is flawed.

@csb73 and Leonard humiliated Duran the 2nd and 3rd fight. so your argument is irrelevant.

Exactly

who cares. he's a guy.

@@fastfootedone He's trying to make the point that A Mexican Boxer would never quit

Hundreds of pro boxer's have quit or there trainer's thrown in the towel! Chisora quit on his stool against Fury after getting a beating a boxing lesson 🥊 Present day you can't blame a boxer who quits as their health is at stake. We now know from medical science repeated hits to the head can lead to brain damage, parkinsons etc

@@C--A Duran didn't look like he was in bad shape. Check out the Basilio v Robinson fight. Basilio looked like he was going to lose an eye, but he didn't quit. He lost anyway. I would've quit if I was losing and taking the kind of beating he was taking. But I'm not a pro fighter. Ali almost quit when he got something in his eye in his first fight with Sonny Liston, but Dundee told him this is your big fight, you can't quit. Ali stayed in the fight, cleared his eye and it was Liston who quit. You quit once, it makes it that much easier to quit again, which is what Liston did in his second fight with Ali. Ali never quit again, though he admitted that he thought he was going to die in one of his fights with Frazier. Frazier never quit in his fights against Foreman, and those fights had to be stopped by the ref.

@@joep8787 May not have looked in bad shape to the people watching but Duran took some heavy shot's to the head. Inside his body he would be hurting and it must of just got to much for him to continue. I've watched the Clay (he wasn't Mohamed Ali yet) vs Liston first fight several times. Clay wasn't trying to quit, they say Liston put something on his glove to irritate Clay's eye, boxing back then was more dirty! Clay weathered the storm didn't let it get under his skin then went on to win the fight. Though admittedly Liston wasn't in the best physical condition for the fight plus he underestimated the young Cassius Clay.

@@joep8787 Duran lost something like 30 pounds in the space of a month for this fight. Losing that much weight that quickly has a huge impact on the body. Not saying he would have beaten leonard if Duran was in peak shape like leonard was but the fight would be way more intense and closer than it already was

@@Kimbo67 Yes, a lot of fighters gain weight between fights. Never could understand why they do that. They're supposed to be professionals, not to mention their lives are on the line like no other athlete. A split second can mean the difference between being alert and being unconscious. No doctor would ever stop keeping up with the latest developments in the medical field. You never see tennis or basketball players gain weight in their off seasons. It's hard to lose weight. Your body doesn't want to do it. It's much easier to stay in shape than get into shape. A boxer should be concentrating on timing and studying his next opponent. I like food, but I know enough to stop eating before I stop feeling hungry. Your brain is always 15-20 minutes behind your stomach. My weight hasn't fluctuated by more than 5 pounds either way in the past 30 years, and my income isn't dependent on a stable weight.

Why unlikable, tho? Hmmm...

+Johny Kilroy LOL Johny no one ever quit in those days either, but Duran was out of his league against Sugar Ray in this fight and he was getting hurt.

+capnamerca He wasn't out of his league... Duran beat him in the first bout. He got frustrated from Leonard dancing around him, that's why he kept waving his hand for Leonard to go in. He quit because he was embarrassed, frustrated, and heated. He came to fight, Leonard knew he couldn't win on the inside, so he came to dance. I wouldn't say he outclassed Duran, but Duran couldn't keep up with Leonard, got aggravated, tired of chasing him, and had enough. I have endless respect for the guy. No one would've expected this from Duran. Its not the kind of fighter he was.

Leonard kicked his ass

DURAN HIT LEONARD WITH MUCH HARDER SHOTS THAN LEONARD HIT HIM WITH..PEOPLE CAN BE BLINDED BY THE COMMENTARY..HOWARD COSSELL ACTED LIKE HE DIDNT SEE ANY PUNCHES THAT DURAN WAS LANDING.I STILL DONT SEE ANY REASON TO MAKE DURAN QUIT...I BELIEVED THE HYOE WHEN I WAS A KID..WATCHING THE REAL FIGHT.I SEE NO REASON

100% truth! Gayweather)))))

Typical ignorant hater. You don't know shit about boxing if you think Mayweather wasn't great. I'm not much of a fan, but I've been a faithful boxing fan since I was 5 years old, so I know where credit is due.

yeah quitting is way better than defensive fighting. how about you educate yourself in regards to technique, speed, and raw skill because Floyd has all of those in absolute spades. there is a reason Floyd is undefeated. doesnt happen by mistake

jeremiah jonh daniel garcia lol someone quit and you call it a great fight.... Go figure.

floyd can be frustrating to watch but take a look at mayweather vs gatti and watch pure genius on display

The GREATEST

@@antonewilson4310 🙂👍

Best boxing commentator, no question.

Leonard was a welterweight Ali. Same trainer, same style.

all leaonards moves were ALI... Still a great fighter... just not an original one..

what about his offensive? how many steps forward he did in this fight? 2? 1? 0? i just can't like a fighter that all his steps are backwards (Aka "running")

well to be fair, Duran expected to fight a man, not a clown

@@fastfootedone that made it worse my G. You sayin he lost to a clown my guy

@@fastfootedone he was getting embarrassed nd wasn't feeling it lmaoooo

@@sb848 sure, Panamanian 😂

Getrealpeeps Thank goodness it wasn’t Ray Robinson.

It was a boring fucking fight

@@hari-cg9lb would not say boring but I agree it's not know as a great fight like thete first fight was. It mote known as a exraordnery fight for the way during quit.

Cmon now hes not Julio Caesar Chavez that man was a GLADIATOR He is the pride of Mexico. Probably the pride of the entire boxing world to be honest

Well that's a shit referee because if that ref would've done his job correctly then Tyson would've won when he dropped that Buster. The ref is suppose to pick the standing 8 count up off of the time keeper, but he didn't and actually gave Buster 2 extra secs to recover. That was a MAJOR,career altering BLUNDER!!

***** Well, maybe. It appears to me that Douglas was fully alert and ready to rise earlier. He simply waited till the count reached nine but could have gotten up two seconds earlier. We'll never know, I don't guess. What we can know is that Douglas beat Tyson's eye shut and when he dropped Tyson, the champ was in no condition to continue the fight.

andan04 Dude, what the fuck do you know?! Tyson and Douglas BOTH took the same time to raise up off of the canvas. If you still don't believe me ,them look up Tyson vs Douglas - identical 10 counts! Mike Tyson got "Jobbed" if you know what I mean. That ref has made THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MODERN-DAY BOXING HISTORY! Tyson was the king of all kings at that time and the biggest money making attraction( love him or hate him) and that ref straight fucked us all!

I know Buster Douglas beat Tyson's eye shut but finished that fight without a visible mark on him. I know that when Douglas went down, he pounded the canvas in frustration and then looked, fully alert, at the ref, waiting for the count to reach nine before he rose. I know that when Tyson went down, he was fumbling around for his mouthpiece, which he put in backward, and obviously had no idea where he was. I know that if the ref had stopped the fight when Douglas got up, there would have been a huge controversy. I know that when the ref stopped the fight after Tyson got up, nobody wondered why. And I know that Douglas won that fight.

What I'm denying is the notion that Douglas was out and couldn't possibly have risen two seconds earlier. I believe he could have and that the same video you're referring to indicates that. I don't deny that Douglas was hurt when Tyson dropped him, which is why he used the full time allotted to him, but as he would prove just minutes later, he was clearly able to continue. I'm also denying the suggestion that Douglas didn't deserve to win that fight. He clearly took the fight to Tyson the entire night and landed the cleaner, harder shots throughout. In fact he landed more punches than Tyson threw.

And Duran would've been kayoed flat on his back within another couple rounds.

tzuten boxing is as much about being IN SHAPE as it is fighting - if Duran wasn't in shape then thats his bad - the L still stands, lack of condition isnt a valid excuse

Duran gave up plain n simple no mas...lol

im a duran fan but sugar ray much better than mayweather and he does it all with more flair as well, mayweather most boring fighter

Looked like running away to me

HawaiianWarrior100 exactly Lol

@xtcthc hkfhjj revenge my ass! If he woulda stood toe to toe and beat duran now that would of been epic he just should he was afraid to trade cus of war happened 1st fight...

@xtcthc hkfhjj your right bro amen to that 🙏

@@bfekennels2153 Duran quit😂 only cowards would do that

@@mynoseisdirty1250 leonard ran from duran only cowards do that! 😂

@@bfekennels2153 durab got hit with some big shots. Never knew boxing was about standing in there and taking punches. Hit & don't get hit. Only sissies who can't get mad at the more athletic boxer for sticking & moving.

That's coz Sugar was just running around and not really fighting... Some call it strategy... I say it's running away.

Leonard said that it WAS intentional. His brother had suggested that it would piss Duran off and hurt his confidence. All is fair in war. In a seige you might play loud music to keep the defenders awake in their bed. It's music but that is still warfare. With so much on the line nothing is truly off the table. Like how Duran taunted Ray before their first fight. Duran can't truly feel offended by Leonard's actions,... He can only be pissed that he did not think to do that first...

duran was a real fighter my favorite fighter who always wanted to confront without dancing, duran wanted pure skill fighting

Cris Bonilla your making excuses. “Your not playing the way I want you too so I’m taking my ball and going home” is what your saying. It’s a fucking fight! When Latino fighters get their asses handed to them by black fighters, Hispanic dudes be like “he should stand their and fight like a man”...........force him to fight! That’s your job. I know you guys hate Floyd and sugar. 😂

It's certainly where Roger Mayweather learned to fight, and so Floyd Jr too.

Duran barely won the first fight. And got his asa kicked the next two fights. Stop the hate. Drink some milk don't hate on a legend.

mayweather whooped an entire nation of mexicans. deal with it.
