Great performance? you exaggerating again all in the name of paying tribute to not so wonderful Wilfred. Duran won a simple ten round decision and that's it. so he LOOKED like he was ready to put the guy on his back. Did he? the problem with you is you try too hard and end up giving yourself away and no, I prefer not to see it again. not one time did I feel the need to watch this bout again, as if were some world shattering event
he's the greatest fighter of his decade with Jones the best of his and Hagler the best of his. If I rank Floyd over Ray it's perfectly justified becuz Floyd has earned more stripes so while Leonard may be top 50-60, Floyd is top 30 and that is a conservative figure
Look at you. and you say MY arguments are unbelievably weak! That's rich "Every fighter misses guys. he didnt have anything to prove at that point!" Hey, who let the comedian in! signs of a protected fighter and an embarased fan? A die hard fan in a state of deep denial? eh, COULD BE!
Yes it and he was great and no I am not exagerating. If you are not interesting in doing some research then why are you in this conversation? There is no way you are going to get over with me by just typing and caps and being sarcastic and making weak claims like "the problem with you is you try too hard and end up giving yourself away". The only thing I am "trying hard" to do is have a conversation with someone who does not say stuff like "Benitez was not a slick boxer"...and the only thing I am "giving away" is free lessons on how to have a open and honest debate without biases, that you seem to not understand that you have, when you type in stuff like; Floyd Mayweather, when compared to Ray Leonard is, This content is protected A This content is protected ??? That was the cresendo of your arguement. I see why you do not want to watch a fight again. You are not into boxing. You are into the "prince of the realm". BTW, no Duran did not put away Luigi Minchillo but, it he was pounding on him like the Duran of old and that fight was not a simple 10 round decision. The Bratton fight was a simple ten round decision. The Luigi Minchillo fight was trench warfare from begining to end. Duran was trying to stop this man but this man was extremely tough and a champion in Europe.

This is more for the benefit of the board so that they know that you have been offered a imformed persective and that you constantly reject it.

So Ray beat the the greatest fight of his generation yet Mayweather is 20-30 places behind him? Ray was off for 3 years retired at that. If Hagler and Ray fought prime for prime it would have been a faster verison of what we saw in 1987. They were basically evenly matched. Who do you have ranked above Mayweather? Is Hearns, Duran, and or Hagler ranked over Mayweather? Please, please, please answer that. Please.
Ha! Brilliant! Do you know who Bailey is, on the General forum? About two years ago, we were going at it, arguing about Roy Jones and Joe Calzaghe, like we always do, and I was trying to get the last word in before I took my girlfriend away for the weekend. But he replied just before we set off, and his reply was on my mind while I was driving. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and I'd taken her to Stratford Upon Avon. When we got there, we checked into our hotel and then she suggested that we took a romantic walk next to the river. So off we went, and after a while we found a bench to sit on. I tried to fight the urge, but I couldn't, and I asked her if I could borrow her iPhone for a minute. So she handed it over, thinking I wanted to call someone because I'd left my phone in the room. But I went online and logged straight on here. The next minute she shouted "Are you on your boxing forum!?? You've taken me away for my birthday, and you're on your forum! I can't f**king believe you!" I was sat there, and I stuttered "Er no, wait, I'm not on it, well, hang on, I'm just sending one reply, I swear it will be just one reply, and then I'm done, and we can hire a boat if you want? Wait! Where are you going? I've finished now, I swear, here you can have the phone back, I've sent it, I love you!" Ha! Addicted isn't the word.
Ha! The only comedian is you. You should have your own TV show, with some of the things you've said. Protected fighter?
Hilarious story Loudon. People, this is what boxing fan looks like My wife just walked fussing. I have Whitaker-Pineda on my iPhone and this site on the laptop. I gotta check in with you guys later.. Hello, my name is JLP 6...and I am a ESB-addict .
why research something you've already known the last 33 years? and if Benitez has been forgotten it's becuz the public has no desire to remember him as for the links I say to that, everybody's ot SOME fans. Even someone as bland as Benitez are you exaggerating Duran's performance? of course. you HAVE to. If not, that would diminish Wlfred's standing and we wouldnt want that if you're going to take the fight to Benitez, you cant do it in a half hearted manner the way Duran did. You do what Hamsho did. You do what M. Hilton did; you hit ound hm non stop and tr to take his head off matthew Hilton. see what that kid did? it was a thing of beauty. Not THAT was agression. He gave Wilfred no rest. He ug hard into hat body until the head dies, then he took it off. Duran didnt do any of that and didnt get back to being Duran until the Cuevas fght
