I agree. It was Duran’s own fault. In no way did I ever condone Duran’s roller coaster fitness/debauchery routine. I have a lot of respect for...
If it was that easy, why did Leonard have to go out of his way to schedule the fight when Duran didn’t have time to get back in top form?
Not himself? His style was no different from what it was against Benítez. He KO’d one of the greatest counterpunchers ever, so I’m sure he thought...
So he had his excuses, and he was a sore loser. So what? All that says is he lacked professional decorum. Fact of the matter is he was never the...

In 1980 at 147 Duran has a better chance. When Hearns moved up to 154, that was 7 lbs more muscle, not an ounce of fat. On the other hand Duran is...

That is a good question. Chavez could certainly take a punch. I’m sure Arguello would land some big shots. Could Chavez respond like Pryor?
His speed and his reach allowed him to get away that risk-taking style. I mean he could land his bombs against those shorter guys when they were...
