Duran challenges Benitez instead of Palomino

I think Wilfred takes a UD by a a good margin, but probably closer than the 82 verdict was.If he didn't train for Roberto like the Leonard fight, however, he would dearly pay for it, and Roberto would stop him late.

 

Benitez had Duran's number.

 

At Madison Square Garden,,,,,,,,

Well, if that fight took place in 1978,,,,,,,,,,can't you just see Roberto Duran pummeling
Wilfred in the middle rounds, then stopping him in 10.

Then jump over the ropes, and start pounding on PaPa Benetiz,,,,,,,,,

 

That scenario, I would love to see!:good

 

Duran

 

It's quite interesting that Leonard, when commentating Benitez-Duran, says that Duran was stronger in Montreal than in New Orleans. He's clear about there being a significant difference. I'm amazed that he's that honest about it and see no reason to doubt his word.

 

The Duran vs. Benetiz fight for a possible 1977 or 1978 time in Madison Square Garden
would have been done, if it wasn't for;

PaPa 'I'm a Lunatic' Benetiz,,,,,,,,,changing weight levels and money demands.

 

:deal

That´s one thing I always admire about Leoneard. He seems to be a brutally honest guy, with himself and others. Most boxers aren´t.

 

It's him and Tyson more or less. The rest range from being almost delusional to just lacking a bit of perspective.

 

It's funny also that many Duran and Hagler fans protrait Leonard as this sly, dishonest sneak when he's actually much more honest about things than they are.

 

Sugar Ray Leonard had an absolutely brilliant manager/lawyer..............Mike Trainer

Everything went thru him.......down to the color of the towels in the hotel suites.

 

Young Tyson, yeah. :good When he got older he got a bit delusional. But yeah. :good

Well, he was, when it came to matchmaking. Everything had to go his way and he took the matches when he knew every advantages were on his side. That´s the bad thing. The good thing is, he knew it and is honest about it. But I can see where the dislike for him comes from. I have huge respect for the guy.

 

:yep Yep there's one born every minute

Yeh a most recent phenom once he'd realised & could'nt understand why he is the least popular of the fab 4 & only honest enough to admit he's a dishonest dishonourable manipulative treacherous **** once he realised what the popular consenus actually is & now has flipped the issue into now trawling for votes from the geneticly like-minded & he's got your vote in the bag:hey
