    Well, there's only way to get to the bottom of this...

    Which 2 users were arguing again?

    Fine, I asked a mod friend to delete the thread, and so it was. The thread was vile, completely off-topic and hostile, it had no business on here so I asked for it to be removed.

    The names of the pair who argued aren't relevant here, since we don't need to have a repeat of the last thread, which was really good to begin with.

    Good point John. Duran was 19 when he beat Marcel and 21 when he beat Buchanan. Scary

    Of course the Barkley and Moore fights are near the top given the obvious disadvantages he had i.e. natural size, age, career stage etc. His sheer will and balls in the Barkley fight are worth the price of admission with the counter right playing a nice part.

    Tho young Moore at the time had outbrawled a few decent powerful Junior Middles. The gap in skill and experience however was enormous as Duran put on a great show and beat him down. It was like a boy vs a man despite Moore being favored. To be fair no-one knew just how much Duran still had left and he certainly wasn't washed up as the prevailing thought pictured him.
