Roberto Duran v the other great Welterweights

Think you guys underated Ross. Ross wont be beating up by Duran, Ross will box, move around the ring, and out point Duran imo. That left jab of Ross will keep Duran off imo.

 

I always hear that Duran had trouble with boxers. What does that even mean. Everyone has trouble with boxers if they are looking for a KO. Duran beat Viruet easily both times and I don't think Mamby won a round but we here he had trouble. You know a fighter is great when just because he can't ko a guy that means he had a hard time.

Doesn't matter what Duran did at 154 in this debate. Duran was a totally different fighter at 147 in his 20s then he was at 154 in his 30s. This is extremely obvious.

 

Another to be fooled by the Leonard media machine! You need to read Randy Gordon's true account of events!!

Well, i suppose they mean Duran had trouble with boxers who are bigger than him and so he wouldn´t have a strength advantage on the inside. And I tend to agree with that. But the Duran critics should also see that Duran was very inconsistent at the higher weights and much less motivated than at lightweight. That is not an excuse but an explanation.

Imo he lost the second fight due to different reasons. Firstly, he had trouble to get in shape after his partying, secondly I think he underestimated Leonard after his win, third Leonard had the mental edge in the second one, fourth Duran lacked motivation after the win and finally fifth Leonard had the right gameplan this time.
