How can Duran be even mentioned as overrated...??? probably the greatest lightweight that ever lived, won world titles in 4 weight divisions, fought in 5 differant decades, beat up Ray Leonard when Ray was at his VERY BEST, i could go on all night..????? is it a **** take.
Facts are boring and unimaginative to you? Would you rather Philip Roth dream you up an alternate history?
Rooster is not bored by the "facts", he is bored by the redundancy that's put forth by Leonard fans. I must say I am bored with Leonard fans redundancy as well.
That whenever someone questions the amount of praise that Leonard gets and exposes a few facts about his career moves they are so quick to say how he beat Duran, Hearns, Benitez and Hagler. Like that should excuse his ducking of Nunn, Pryor, Jackson. And not to mention he only fought Hagler and the Duran rematch because stipulations and circumstances was on his side. Its safe to say Leonard is the original "Void".
No, they were just in danger of losing to ATGs like Oliver McCall, Buster Douglas, Chris Byrd, or Carl Thompson. :nut
A top ten ranking isn't "seen," it's something that's proven in the ring. Roy either lost or failed to make too many fights that were crucial to his legacy, which precludes him from the top 10. Anyone who rates a fighter just based on "looks" doesn't know how to rate fighters.
Usually because they're waiting on you to provide pieces of evidence that you claimed you had, but never produce. You know, like the article claiming Camacho beat Whitaker in sparring, or scorecards for the Gavilan-Graham series.
You must not have seen peak Norris, Camacho, Bowe, Ayala, Roldan, Le Animarl Fletcher, Roldan, Dwight Davison and James "Hard rock" Green!!!!
Yes how stupid of them....Ray really scrapped the barrel with those guys instead of fighting those true greats. You've convinced me now Benny.
I have my own set of facts: Terry Norris destroyed 3-1 fave & 5 time world champion Leonard-no sweat! Mugabi, Taylor-the fastest man in the sport, Simon Brown and Don Curry, two of the best welterweights to ever lace up the gloves Can you live with those results? I can
A shot Leonard, a shot Mugabi, a shot Taylor, a shot Brown, and a shot Curry. Looking strong, looking strong. You forgot to mention that same Brown also KTFO Norris.
I'm equally as tired with the redundant accusations by the Leonard haters with nothing to back them up. Leonard ducked Pryor? I believe I already cleared that up. Leonard ducked Jackson? Julian Jackson? Leonard ducked Nunn? Maybe when he was an old man. Criticizing Leonard's wins over Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Benitez while bringing up Norris's wins over a bunch of washed up 1980's fighters, most from lower weights, isn't the way to go on about it.
