    I think we'll agree to disagree. I honestly don't think you can overrate a guy like Duran.

    For me he epitomised everything that should happen today. This guy literally would fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. How many guys can you name that would start out as a 120 pound fighter, grow into Lightweight, dominate that division for 7 years go up to Welter taking on the best available in that division, beat 2 Light Middles of the calibre of Cuavas, and Davey Moore, then immediately go looking for Hagler who at that time was in his absolute prime.

    None of which were catchweights or **** like that.

    Hilarious. So ALL American fighters are overhyped? The irony of you and the other Klitschko fans saying this ****, when you idiots hype up Eastern European fighters like there's no tomorrow. Obviously you're an insecure little troll who has to resort to bashing Americans all the time on the internet, instead of trying to form a cohesive argument. I'm done with you and your ilk. :hi:

    Good post. At their prime weights,it's obviously Duran purely because he remained at at his for longer than Holyfield did. Okay,he was convincingly beaten by Esteban de Jesus in their first fight,but put that right,strongly,in the two rematches. Roberto stayed on top for six years before he moved up to the higher weights. I do firmly believe,however,that Holyfield could've emulated that feat had he stayed at Cruiserweight for the same amount of time. Nobody could touch him at 190 lbs.

    Obviously the best part of vermin like you, and supercunt is still running down the inside of your mothers thighs, because your fathers didn't want to breed even bigger fvcking halfwits than they had previously.

    It is precisely because of scum like you that the British are despised all over the world, and bombed whilst trying to go about their business.

    You presume that because I despise everything about America, and Americans, particularly the asswipe Brits who cling on to them like piles, that I am Eastern European, and a Klitchko fan.

    The only empathy I have for all Ukraines is the way they were treated by that scum cvnt Stalin, just the same as I have for the poor *******s that were treated by the scum cvnt Brits, and the scum cvnt Yanks who similarly think they can ride rough shod over people who don't / didn't deserve it.

    So you and supercvnt can go and fvck your lowlife selves for all i care.

    Hmmm...I'm not a "fvcking yank" but I still find this offensive. One of the rules I use when posting is that I wouldn't say anything from a keyboard that I wouldn't say to someone's face...perhaps you should try this approach fella?

    Well good for you. I personally try to go through life NOT telling people what to do, say or think. Maybe you should try it.

    So I don't like Yanks, or anything they stand for, and I say it, and have said it to their faces.

    And yes I have been to America, and don't recommend it. I found the best part of it to be the Hoover Dam, a fantastic piece of engineering.

    I don't personally go through life telling people what to do, say or think either; "perhaps you should try this approach" is hardly TELLING you to do anything is it?
