Terence Crawford vs Roberto Duran @147

Leonard
Benitez
Hearns

He went 1-4 against the smartest boxers he faced. He did not like movers or technicians.

I didn't say Duran was dumb. Reading comprehension.

I said he struggled with smart boxers, and he did. Leonard beat him using his brain and technique in the rematches.

 

because Duran is JUSSSST as mediocre as shawn porter

 

Crawford's pitty pat movement against the plodder clash royale boulder that Canelo is in 2025 would not work against the Duran who traumatized Carlos Palomino, whom is still claiming he beat Duran decades later, or completely nullified Leonard's gameplan to the point that a narrative was created where he conveniently forgot all of his boxing experience & iq to "stand and brawl" with the Macho.

 

I would favor Montreal Duran by decision

 

All I can say is it would be competitive.

 

Since you’re referencing a fight that happened when Crawford was 37 AND fighting at a weight other than the one proposed in the thread, Then can I bring up the great Kirkland Laing ?

 

Yes

 

This must be trolling to it's fullest power!

 

Crawford. Montreal Duran never was a real person.

 

And I never thought you said that either.

What I meant was that if a smarter fighter than Crawford like Ray Leonard would get beaten and outsmarted by Duran in their first fight, then how is he not able to outsmart Crawford. Their rematches, especially the second one was more on Duran not being in shape as the scorecards weren't that wide before he quit.

 

This is arguably the worst post I have ever seen

 

I disagree with it, but it’s better than thinking Benitez would beat Mayweather and Crawford.

 

He's like a ww version of 89 Tyson, he could beat Jesus himself in fight if you believe his fans

 

No surprise really. Duran's victory over Leonard in Montreal '80 is arguably the greatest victory in all of boxing history.

 

I think so as well but it gets dragged a little by some on here
