    Besides Leonard. What did he really do at that weight and above? Got stopped in the rematch pretty embarrassingly, got ****ed up by Hearns. Lasted 12 with Hagler which was good, but he also lost to Benetiz and Laing.

    147 and above? Beat Palomino easily, destroyed Cuevas, beat Barkley, and Moore.

    He lasted 15 with Hagler.

    I'm going to cut the TS slack and assume he was just trying to share this "so called" credible article, but overrated and Duran in the same sentence is utter blasphemy.

    It was 15 with Hagler.

    As for other achievments, how about beating Iran Barkley, and aggressive, punching MW champion? Kind of link Casamayor stepping up to beat Pavlik which is, let's see, impossible.

    Lasting 15 with Hagler is better then beating anyone of those guys. All average at best.

    The fact that you describe Carlos Palomino as average at beast speaks towards your boxing knowledge, which is basically limited to Mayweather.

    Here...jerk off to this and get the **** out

    Seriously, anybody who denies his greatness is either a hater (hard to believe there are people that are still upset over his beating SRL) or doens't know much about the sport.
