The reason Roberto Duran Quit

Personally i think Herol Graham was the biggest letdown and sellout of them all.

The way he quit against Julian Jackson was a disgrace to the sport.

 

I hesitate to commit to that.

 

Haha, did you see my other post man?

 

I did and what's going on here I think is a good thing. May we live in interesting times. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, my friend.

 

Alright alright. Joe Louis was the only great fighter I could think of at the time. I never said the situations were the same.

Although I've read reports from the time calling it a quit-job.

 

you set yourself up for it itry, i couldn't resist.:hey

 

A few days you asked me examples of where Duran got a pass. Well, now you're saying that being thrashed from round 4 to 12 enroute to not being able to rise to your feet is equal the most blatant "I don't give a damn, I'm handing you my title because you're clowning me"-quit job, just because ... it's freaking Duran. Need I expand on this?

 

Am I? Where did I say this?

They are obviously not equal.

 

Though nothing can compare to "Duran was in his prime vs. Buchanan" or "Duran was effectively a natural MW vs. Hagler".

 

"Hearns was weight drained against Ray Leonard" is a pretty good one, though? As was, "I had Duran beating Hagler".

 

You'd probably have been better going for ALi wanting to quit in certain fights - Liston/Frazier

 

...Supposedly. :roll:

 

While neither is true, I think Duran was not a million miles from his best against Kenny, and think he held the 154lb and 160lb weight pretty damn well, despite being blown up

 

When did I ever say that? :huh

Is this one of the Duran fights you've watched, or one of those you talk about without having watched?
