Benitez - Hope, already mentioned. I nice fake to throw Hope off, then a perfect chin shot from a 'lightweight' puncher. Sugar Ray vs Davey Bot...
Duran was "The Force" in a weak lightweight division.
hmm, let's see if I have this right.... Leonard beats Duran two out of three, and also convincingly defeats all of the other fighters that beat...
