Roberto Duran v Iran Barkley (3rd time scoring) 1 10-9 (Duran takes it after scoring with a couple of good overhand rights and Barkley scoring...
Looked good to me, John.
Yeah, and he actually did it in 3! He had three fights with Berg - the first Berg won a 10 round decision, the second was the one punch kayo and...
I think so. Certainly the best one on film. This would he my top 3 based on what I've seen: 1. Duran-Barkley 2. Toney-McCallum 1 3. Hagler-Hearns...

Duran had a succession of defenses in 76/77 against defensive fighters - runner Lou Bizarro, spoiler Edwin Viruet and Vilomar Fernandez. Vilomar...
Pryor is probably a top 5 junior welter along with Barney Ross, Antonio Cervantes, Julio Cesar Chavez and one of Niccolino Loche or Duilio Loi....
Yeah, he probably would have been stopped sooner rather than later but I think it should have continued.
The stoppage was horrible. He was steady on his feet, he seemed lucid. The ref must have seen something that isn't clear on camera about the way...
