    Superbly detailed expansion.

    As much of a Duran fantatic as I am, a fight with Chavez would've been a highly contested thriller. I'm not as up on his career as I am Roberto's but I can't help but feel it's a damn shame he didn't hang around at 135 longer. People have the wide misconception of rating him predominantly as a Light Welter but I think his two greatest performances were against Rosario and Ramirez, both at lightweight. Duran has the whole enchilada (no pun intended lol) as far as ATG lightweight goes with the performances (DeJesus III my favorite), extended stay at the weight, dominant title reign, etc. but Chavez - a P4P great his own right - was best here too. IMO.

    FOTC over The Rumble?! :shock:

    Not saying it isn't, but a bit surprising coming from you. :D

    Foreman's two round demolition of Frazier rounds it out amongst Heavies. People can say Frazier was 'past it' all they want: He was 29-0 and Undisputed Champ. The way and ease of which he was taken out certainly adds to it.
