    Very few did what Roberto did at LW, he was a minny beast and the total package at LW. He hit like a tank and moved like snake. And not to mention he is one of the best WW's ever

    But where do you guys wanna rank Duran all time at LW?

    I think he just sneaks into the top 15-20, Anything higher is utterly ludicrous.

    I would say at worst top 5, so name the 15 or 20 LW's that were better than Duran...

    Are you talking about greatest boxers p4p of all time or greatest lightweight? Because most people have Roberto Duran, Joe Gans and Benny Leonard (in any order) as the top 3 lightweights of all time

    I know bro, I was wondering about tezel8764 rankings, if he was ranking Duran in a p4p sense or just lightweight because, like you said, there's no way Duran is ranked outside of the top 5 at lightweight
