Devastating.

 

is there anything above number 1?

seriously, it's tough. on that ONE NIGHT, a case could be made for a top 10 h2h at 147. even top 5 depending on how highly you rate leonard h2h (i have him around 3) and how dominant you think duran was (i have it pretty wide for hands of stone)

 

Anyone who can beat that version if Leonard has to be one of the very best welterweights in history.

Id put him below Robinson and hearns and noone else if I'm feeling a bit of Duran love is due.

 

Inb4 MAG says Leonard would beat him that night.

 

"mag who would you pick to beat Montreal Duran?"

"Leonard"

"but mag that's who Montreal Duran actually beat"

"Leonard"

"you alright mate? You don't make much sense"

"Leonard"

"ooookkkkkk"

 

Wilfred Benitez beats him. Just sayin'.

 

That avatar is nuts.

 

I'm pleased with it. I love that staredown.

 

Benitez would've gotten strowed.

 

James Toney would knock the bum out.

 

You think? Nah, he'd be more aggressive than he was in his actual fight with Benitez at 154lbs, but that would just play into Benitez's hands. Ray didn't know how to fight off the ropes. Benitez was the master at it. Mid-rounds stoppage.

 

The fight against Benitez took place either in center ring or with Benitez against the ropes. You try to fight off the ropes against the Duran of that night, you're toast. I don't care who you are. And if Leonard couldn't hold Duran off with the mid-range game, Benitez sure ain't.

I actually do think it'd be a good fight, though. They match up well.
