    he by passed the light welter division altogether but if the chance had come ???
    I didn't like Duran in his prime for punching king ken Buchanan in his nuts and was briefly made up when yearns wiped him out, but........the man was a marvel and his technical skills were sublime.

    Amazing fighter, one of the very best ever. But not at light welterweight, because he never fought there. In fact he lost to a very good light welterweight.

    Esteban dejesus !!!
    Duran pushed hagler all the way though which is a feat in itself.

    I am in no way disputing Duran's greatness.

    I'm disputing him being a great light welterweight. Although he very well would've been had he fought there, but he never made the fight with Cervantes.

    " Hearns beating Cuevas like he did, and Leonard beating Duran like he did in their rematch "

    Is EXACTLY what you wrote.

    I wrote that there was NO COMPARISON between the 2. You then waffled on for a few paragraphs about nothing really in reply.:roll::roll:

    I think Hagler was the worse of the 4, P4P.

    As has been said times before, Duran was the best but not at the time of fighting the Fab 4. He was a killer at lightweight and moved up, so he was most past his prime and still held his own, with a fantastic win over Hearns. I'd say its between Hagler and Hearns being worst.

    Do you usually use 100 words when 10 would suffice?

    The fact you mentioned the 2 totally different fights in the SAME sentence implies comparison.

    Learn more about the English written word.

    Now off you go, like a good boy.
