Is Duran the greatest lightweight ever?

@stevefowler3398 Жыл бұрын

The greatest boxer of all time. No other boxer achieved what he did. Hagler for me was the most technically efficient. Tyson was the scariest. Marquez the most professional. Chavez the most dangerous. Barrero the cleverest. But Duran gave everything. He feared nobody. For me, the sweetest punch in boxing history was when he floored Davey Moore with his right. Yep! THE GREATEST.

He beat Barkley on a split decision , and his second fight with Hearns , Hearns to me beat him, but knucklehead judges gave the split decision to Barkley .... Hearns and SRL beat Wilfredo Benitez and they also beat Duran .... But "El Radar" Benitez took duran to school with impressive counter punches and head movements, beautiful victory by Wifred , who should be king #5

I completely forgot this. He fought 'Macho' Camacho at 50! At the end of Duran-Leonard 1, I was the only guy in the room that thought Duran won. Leonard was massively popular, and much of the press described Duran (at that time) as kind of a thug that the pure boxer Sugar Ray was supposed to out point.

@onewayup5 3 ай бұрын

Soon after Hagler's bout with Mugabi Leonard was sighted selling his autograph at a bicycle store whereat he purchased a 'shiny new'. Yup, the same one that millions saw in the ring, he rode off on after stealing the victory from Marvin. Down the road, to Leonard's credit, he did admit to his FAILING. Nonetheless, because of this fight, to this day any mention of him that is favourable is met with my righteous derision. Otherwise, I join in with the MOCKERY!

It's hard to find the words to adequately describe him. Like all the Four Kings of Boxing in the 1980s, he is an immortal legend. He may have the worst record of the Four in bouts between these fighters, but when we realize that he was by far the smallest man among them then we give him respect and honor for the courage he had.

@jimmaculate3802 5 ай бұрын

He went to distance with Marvin Hagler, 15 rounds. He got destroyed by Thomas Hearns in a couple of rounds. And he lost two out of three bouts to Sugar Ray Leonard, despite that, he was really extraordinary and fought a zillion fights. He was fierce as a bull. I would love to meet him. All right, who can arrange it?

Fun fact. Duran had an issue with over eating amd would blow up to almost 200lbs between fights. He fought SRL in New Orleans and was eating a bunch of Cajun food which made his stomach sour. He was about to crap himself in the "no mas" fight. I probably would have quit to. Watch the first fight and then the second. Its obvious he was jacked up.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. says Duran was 5 foot 6 inches tall and fought from lightweight to light heavyweight. He beat Sugar Ray Leonard when Leonard was considered unbeatable, he went the distance with Marvin Hagler at middleweight, he beat and knocked down middleweight champion Iran Barkley in 1988 AFTER - BARKLEY knocked out Thomas Hearns (who knocked out Duran in 1984). So Duran indirectly avenged his knockout loss to Hearns! In Today's World Duran would've earned 20 belts.
