Lomachenko was known as The Matrix for all the wrong reasons. He wasn’t some enhanced super fighter like Keanu Reeves in the movies — he’s a...
Both are great. P4P Duran has the lightweight resume to consider but his exploits at higher weights are very inconsistent. He has a few nice wins...
For all the talk of Duran being grossly out of shape, it is well documented that Leonard made a run through the French Quarter in New Orleans on...
My points are: 1) The amount by which Duran was diminished at the very least has taken on mythical proportions to the point of exaggeration over...
If you look at the fight, Ray made it a point to get to ring center before Marvin. Subtle psychological ploy — Marvin wanted to occupy the center...

I looked it up and you’re right — he did! And I can make an argument that Leonard over Duran II is as great a win (or greater) than Duran’s win...
‘Tis to me a silly thing to say sending someone to watch a public workout is spying.
There’s a section in his fight where George started throwing sledgehammers to Ali’s body on the ropes and I don’t care what anybody says, those...
