    Yes I heard about No Mas thing. That is part of his story. What about the rest of it?

    Ali didnt come off a 3 year suspension. He had a just beaten two contenders

    You were pretty quick to make an excuse for Ali.
    I'm not sure which Duran your referring to. This thread is about Roberto Duran.
    4 divison World Champion. On top of that he said indeed bang Ray Leonard's wife.

    Why do people feel the need to ruin my thread? I wanted a debate on how skilled he was and how he compares with guys like Robinson and Pep. Not this!

    He couldn't beat Hagler or Hearns, and only beat Leonard because Leonard decided to brawl with him. If Ray tried to outbox and stick&move, he probably would've won the first fight.

    He did try, and then he got dragged back into a war. Which he lost.

    Fair play to you, George. Hopefully the mods will step in and relieve us of his presence. In the meantime, Just ignore him. I know social distancing is boring but trolling a forum largely populated by middle aged men (with notable exceptions ie your bad self) who are just trying to while away some time discussing boxing is a pretty pathetic way to spend the many hours. To all those whose only purpose on the forum is to irritate, I say this. We are time rich atm. Why not use some of that time productively to do some of the following

    Learn English.
    Learn about boxing.
    Learn some basic manners.

    Alternatively just f**k off.

    If enough of us keep reporting him, then hopefully he will be gone.

    No doubt!! Just noticed my “join date” for this forum is 2004 and at that point I’d already been watching Boxing for over 20 years:cool: . I wonder if young George was even a member of this earth yet :) I enjoy debating with George.

    that Serbian guys gotta go, hijacking all these threads with bs

    Duran is no.1 lightweight and easily top ten welterweight. Don't forget he skipped junior welterweight when he could have taken the easy route and dominated that weight class. Only man to beat prime sugar ray despite every conceivable disadvantage, except for the fact he is the better pound for pound fighter. Ray is up there too, great fighter but he's just behind Duran in ATG ranking. Most proper boxing fans and pundits/ex fighter with more credentials than you or I tend to agree.
