Yeah right go feed that bull**** to someone else *****,some of my favourite fighters are black . Now explain to me how Hearns record is better than Duran's.
If you say SRL was young and inexperienced which is a bunch of bs than you should say the same about Duran in his first fight with Dejesus.
DURAN BY A MILE if somebody WANTED A REMATCH HE WAS GAME. JMM WANTED pac A THIRD TIME pac said NOWAY OLD MAN YOU TOO GOOD.:smoke
I agree also. Look at Hearns wins for titles. Cueves,Benitez and Hill. 3 hall of famers got him 3 titles. Who else can say he did that? He stopped Duran. Fought every middleweight caliber guy in the late 1980's it seemed, fought the best welterweights including Weston and Shields and even Bruce Curry. Duran's record vs. the legends of the 1980's is 1-5 (0). And Tommy was involved in the greatest round of fighting ever, and probably the best rivalry with Ray Leonard. I think Hearns is underrated and Duran overrated.
Duran never wanted to fight Hearns again. There was almost a Hearns/Duran 2 when Hearns should of beaten Ray in June of 1989, but since Ray got a draw. Leonard/Duran fought a rubbermatch which Ray won again easily.
Duran started his career at 119 pounds.His record up to and including lightweight was what?62-1 with how many ko's?He knocked out Ernesto Marcel(at 130),conqueror of Arguello,HOF Ken Buchanen-Duran was a brash 21 year old and Buchanen was a prime 26 year old,HOF Esteban DeJesus,Ray Lampkin and a bunch of other terrific fighters.And that was before he moved up.HOF resume.Like him or hate him,he is one of the greatest fighters ever.Everything past 30 years old was pure gravy as he had far and away more fights than all of those welters that he fought.If you were to judge his career at welter,he lost once at that weight,which means that that was his second loss to,of course,Leonard.So,between super-bantam and welter,and with a massive list of victims,he was what?At least 68-2.I'd have to boxrec that,with how many kos?His resume is awesome.Despise him as you may,he was great.He beat Leonard,something Tommy couldn't do,and when he fought Tommy,it was at 154.Maybe the best lightweight ever.
Roberto Duran was actually a better fighter than Manny Pacquiao for me, it's clear to see. Pacman is likely my fave fighter in the world now, he's a force of nature, outright.
Duran is a great boxer. I just feel say seeing him being devastated by HEARNS. DURAN lost to Hearns in his peak of popularity PAC lost during the days he was UNKNOWN to the world. Pac is aiming for his 7th weight divison title.. Duran has less division title than PAC.
THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY MY FREIND HEARNS KNOCK HIS ASSS OUT THE FIRST TIMEatschi woULD NOT FIGHT SOMEONE WHO KNOCK MY ASS OUT LIKE HEARNS DID DURAN .:smoke PAC NOW HE WAS STRAIGHT UP SCARED OF THAT OLD MAN. NOW I HEAR ARUM WANTS PEC PEC PACYTO FIGHT JMM AGAIN IN 2010.WHAT A PCUKING JOKEatsch
