Folks don’t realize how great Duran was. He jumps 2 weight classes after going 69-0 at lightweight and wiping out the division. Loses one fight at a catchweight then beats that guy twice beats leoanrd a younger bigger faster younger welterweight who as noted is number 1 p4p at the time. Then he loses to Hearns. Hearns gets stomped by Barkley twice and then Duran kicks Barkley’s ass. Loses to beneitez - another bigger younger faster guy with far fewer miles and as a massive underdog smashes top guys like Cuevas, Moore. Beat Barkley after Moore actually. Then as a long regining lightweight and after all those wars moves to 160 and pushes possibly the greatest middleweight of all time to the brink. Now what lightweight in the history of game goes 15 with Hagler and nearly beats him? How many lightweights in history beat Leonard? There is a very serious argument Duran is the GOAT.

This is exactly the same with Tyson. People just see a brawler. They really lack understanding of boxing. Both were great at slipping punches just to get on the inside to deal heavy blows. People just don’t realize the technical skill to do that kind of stuff. Technical brawlers are amazing to watch.

The biggest issue, not just with Duran, but a lot of athletes over a whole spectrum of sports is simply not staying in shape year round Kobe himself said,“I’m always training, I’m always preparing, I’m always practicing for the game.” He could go out and play whenever he needed to because he was always physically prepared That being said, you can't take anything from Duran. His record speaks for itself

I recently found out he was half Mexican. He never knew his Mexican side being his dad so he identified solely as Panamanian since that was his world. I always thought he looked more Mexican than Panamanian and now I know why. I’m starting to think it’s something in their genes that makes them such good fighters. He appeared to be a hybrid, taking the best of every element of Latin American boxing style

@@ArmandoAlejandro2014 I think he meant he didn’t know (no conocía) the Mexican side of his family, but yeah he was definitely aware (lo sabía) he was Mexican. That’s funny, that’s one example where spanish is way more clear (conocer vs saber) than English (using “know” for both).

I wrestled from age 5 through the end of my collegiate career (so 15 plus competitive years) and making weight was always looming somewhere in the back of my mind. I would literally wake up in cold sweats after having the nightmare where I failed to make weight… To be clear, I am talking about 5-7 pounds, maybe 10-12 if I really let myself go and shedding that amount was hellacious! I can’t even begin to imagine attempting a 50+ pound cut without medical supervision and ample time for physiological adaptation. It wasn’t until I was in my late 30’s that I began to realize just how much damage one inflicts upon themselves by consistently dropping 10 or more pounds in a matter of days, putting it back on, cutting it, ad nauseam. Duran and many of his contemporaries were the last of their breed, I’m thrilled that younger generations have the opportunity to witness some of the greats from the golden era of boxing.

These guys were not the punchers Duran was but were masterful boxers

Defense is great, but Floyd would have had a guy who was great bith offensively and defensively. Flood could hurt Duran. Duran would have walked through and just sounded and box him. Yeah Duran could box too.

Him and Ali were my favorites’ Duran had a aura about him ‘ he had that look that was just intimidating’ as far as training ‘ he probably needed the breaks to enjoy himself ‘ but that’s harder to do when you get older ‘ and he was training just to lose weight to make the cut ‘ so he was weight drained for a lot of fights ‘ such as the hearns fight

Tell you a little secret... I met s Panamian trainer in Montréal that had trained as a young kid alongside Roberta, who was also a young kid. The heavy training was outside the gym. In fsct it was initially an elimination process to rid 90% of the potential students of that trainer. At the beach there was an elevated tree stump that they had to jump off performing a flip... Most got hurt. You mention his squatting while skipping like a Russian. In fact the trainer would point to a mountain and they all had to do a jumping duck walk to the top. Look at his legs, Tyson also... Of course that type of brutal training is hard to maintain. Cheers 🍻
