Is Leonard Vs Duran I one of the best fights ever, or atleast your top 5?

    Good action fight, but not a top 5 fight to me. Nothing like Pryor/Arguello, Ali/Frazier,Hagler/Hearns, etc.

    I agree. Not like Pryor Arguello 1. a few rank higher: Hagler-Hearns, Pryor Arguello, Mancini Kim, Pintor Gomez, Chavez Taylor. , Ali Frazier 3

    Too much grabbing by both fighters, no sustained action like we saw in Hagler-Hearns

    In addition Southpaw, fireworks from the start, and the sudden unexpected conclusion in the Pryor Arguello fight. Nobody was expecting Pryor to overpower him. I certainly didn't. Duran-Leonard merely went to a decision.

    Leonard-Duran I; I'd definitely have this fight put in my top five but I'd put Leonard-Hearns I a little bit ahead of it.

    Great fight, one of the very best and is actually say its pretty under-rated when mentioning the greatest fights.

    To me, it's one of those fights were the victor cannot be argued with but it's razor thin. You can't make a case for a Leonard victory or even a draw, but it's so, so close on the cards IMO.

    This, and FOTC were the two best I've ever watched.
