I can agree with this assessment.
Duran was a great fighter. He mowed everyone down, effectively going 70-0 before (his loss to de Jesus in '72 is questionable imo) legitimately...
How do you think he would've done as a pro if he'd started after either Munich (72), Havana (74), or Montreal (76)? Imo he would've shook things...

Pre-91 Foreman beats any version of Lewis.
@ janitor - There is no f-ing way that old-timer (pre-1960 for the most part) era champion athletes are gonna compare to modern era championship...
