    Duran would have taken PBF without a doubt

    duran was a master at everything


    check out him slipping like 6 punches in a row agaisnt iran barkley then hitting him that unreal movie like combination

    another one of his best is when hes fighting palomino and they are jabbing each other and duran flicks out his jab then bang a lighting quick 1-2 that he moved his whole body into. floors palomino, whom was a great fighter himself, gets up and nods at duran as if to say, yea your pretty ****ing good


    also that video earlier against cuevas is simply amazing, similar to barkley but duran was way older then fighting a big (super)middle


    also 'Thread Stealer' Omar is my hero

    I have footage of him working the speed bag with his head. It's from 1988 when he came to the UK and sparred with Nigel Benn.

    Duran-Palomino I reckon is one of his best fights...as close to his prime as you will see him there even if it wasnt at lightweight.

    I like the move he did to knockdown Davey Moore in their fight, finishing with the counter right hand...He took that poor kids heart in that fight, defensively was very sound but whenever the hard punching Moore got through there was hardly a flinch from Roberto.

    Yeah, I have all the respect in the world for the boxing skills of Mayweather but Duran is a bad match for him, very bad.

    Yea easily one of the best.Its so easy to forget how good he was at lightweight when most of the time you here people talking about his fights at welter and above.

    He really had two careers one at lightweight and one above where he is remembered for being a little guy in a big world.
