    I met Duran about 2 years ago this fall, and hes not quite monster he used to be. Now hes enjoying life, he sat ringside at a ronald hearns fight next to me and pro boxer Jason Lehoullier, he was laughing and joking the whole time and drinking. Hes put on some weight too, but he was a very nice guy.

    Not arguing with the first part.

    On what grouds does he deserve a top 10 spot. I like Duran his fights are exiting and he has fought great guys. I just see no way of creeping him into the top ten ATGs.
