Duran v Barkley was one of the greatest fights of all time. Barkley fought the fight of his life. He was the sharpest you ever seen him during that fight, and he would have beat ANYONE except a determined Duran on that particular night. Being 37 at the time, Duran might have been well past his prime, but the extra years of experience helped him to overcome the huge hurtles of fighting Barkley who was an absolute Giant, throwing lighting fast triple jabs, hooking off the jab, and RIPPING to the body about as much as you could ever hope to see. Beautiful textbook boxing from the "slugger" whos technical skill was very overlooked before that time. Barkley was a 50% better fighter than he had ever been before that night. He and Duran both showed true mastery of the "sweet science" of boxing. And delivered a fight for the ages.

If you watched the fight between him and Duran, and I bet you did, you saw the greatness of both Men. Of all Duran's fight the one vs Iran is one of my favourites and the greatest statement to Duran's (and Iran's) greatness. Duran was 38 at he time!!!!! He gave Iran one of hardest matches of his career. And Barkley did the same, he was in inhuman shape and he was a hell of a boxer, very underrated in my opinion. He was lighting quick, punched VERY hard (his left hook in particular was vicious) and could take some really big hit and still survive 15 rounds. By his side Duran was veery close to a KD at least once. And Duran was a semi-God of the ring that dropped veeery few times during an incredibly long career. So great great respect to Iran Barkley. At the end of that fight huge huge love and respect between them. Earning Duran's purest respect speaks a lot of Iran's value as a boxer.

Duran/Barkley was a classic. A 15 round war is the best description of that fight. No one gave Duran, at 37 years old, a chance to defeat the 28 year old champion, Barkley. Round 4 was Ring Magazine's round of the year, but just about every round was fought at an incredible pace. Quite possibly, the best fight I've ever seen, and I've seen some incredible fights.

all the above i agree with..but best fight you've ever seen? It was a rally good fight i'll agree.....nbc sports world or CBS late afternoon..i remember it well and it shocked me Duran could keep up that pace and stay with him punch for punch, but he did. It was one of Duran's finest performances, albeit at the tail end of his career. For those born in the 70's that only caught the tail end of his career, this was a vintage performance and one for the ages..to say it was unexpected would have been a massive understatement-as far as other fights that would qualify over this imo and not in this order but Ward vs Gatti, Marquez vs Israel Vazquez, Corrales vs anybody, Taylor vs Chavez, Arguello vs Pryor, Boom Boom vs Doo Ku Kim - and almost all Juan Manuel Marquez fights, just to name a few.....if you've seen that many fights, this couldn't possibly be the greatest fight you've ever seen I hope

I met Duran right here in Miami about 25 years ago. It was at a amateur boxing even and I was working with the stand-by medical team. Duran moves really quick. It's hard to get a complete anatomical look at this guy. He just zooms by and you're looking baffled saying to yourself, was that Roberto Duran that just zoom by. Only thing I really saw was a man with the biggest smile on his face waving at everyone as he zooms by. Much respect for Duran. Sugar Ray was smart enough to change his strategy to win the rematch. All Sugar was doing tagging and running. A lot of fans didn't like that style of fight from Leaonard. All I gotta say is, you all were not in the ring with the Duran when he demolishing Leonard when they fought toe to toe. I would have stick and ran just like Leonard did in that rematch. The first match between Duan and Leonard, showed me Leonard Furznhad a Lion's heart. He lost that fight but he didn't go down with those monstrous body blows on Leonard. Leonard buckled a few times but he didn't go down. Duran hunts you down like a predator after a prey. One of the goats. Thanks for the memories Duran. Duran was the first Latino boxer my people rooted for even when he was facing black boxers.

Barkley was one of the toughest fighter ever. Michael Buffer said tbe best fight he ever saw was Barkley vs Duran. Barkley was 28 and Duran 37 when they fought. Duran looked so much smaller. Barkley became champion after beating Hearns, but was really perceived by many as a very tough contender and not in the class of Hagler, Leonard or Duran. He was and still is a nice guy. Remember him hugging Duran and saying nice things even after a tough loss to the hands of stone. I wish him well.

That's only amazing if you don't understand boxing. It's not about Fighter A lost to fighter B and fighter B lost to fighter C, therefore fighter C beats fighter A. It's about their style, their physical attributes (which should be how you choose to fight, style wise, not emulating what you like), and how that matches up against the other fighter. Duran fights nothing like Hearns, therefore Hearns beating Duran but losing to Barkley has nothing to do with how Duran will fare against Barkley.

@stevefowler3398 Жыл бұрын

Hearns was clearly not a good match for Duran, simply because of Hearns physique. Long and rangy. His style was not to Duran's liking either. Hit and run. Evasive, and not an infighter, as Haggler proved. It was a bad loss for Duran, but no shame in it!
