You put Roberto Duran to sleep, you accomplished something. Keep the gloves. To say that doesn't happen very often is an understatement.
Judge the body of work. Duran is a legend for all his accomplishments. He still lost to Hearns. It doesn't take his accomplishments away from...
The fight game has changed. Amateur careers are longer, people start later, they fight less, modern medicine is in place, mandatory suspension...
