    A young Duran pretty much hated anyone who believed they could beat him

    WRONG.
    James Toney and RJJ are actually friends in real life. Both have said positive things about each other over the years.

    Toney is always talking sh@t about Roy. He even said recently that he didnt consider him a great fighter. Roy seems to have nothing against Toney, but I think you are off here.

    Will never forget Oscar's face when he dropped Mayorga with that left hook....no joy, excitement, it was pure anger. That wasn't a put-on, Oscar didn't like Mayorga

    Watch for yourself and tell me what you think. Nothing but love between these two.

    A bit off topic, but I would watch a Danny Garcia-Robert Guerrero fight just to see Ruben and Angel go at it at the press conference.

    I'm not sure if it's mentioned, but Nigel Benn with Chris Eubank has to be up there for personal disdain. Frazier with Ali. Leonard-Hagler. I suppose more recently Groves and Froch. Now on this list I would have to say I don't believe Ali, Leonard Eubank had the same disdain than their opponents had for them. I think those guys were more in control with their personal emotions. Ali's emotion was always an act.

    Interestingly, Hagler called Duran the best fighter he ever faced (as did Leonard) but Duran considered Leonard better than Hagler. :yep
