    I honestly don't think my rationale is seen by anyone as insane or pathetic. If it was, no one would be responding to me. People know I bring up facts and reasoning when it comes to Duran. Saying Duran beating Moore or Barkley is not as great as beating Hearns or Benitez is not something I made up. If Duran did beat Hearns and Benitez and won the Leonard rematch, I doubt you would be getting much of an argument from anyone that he is not one of the top ten ATG fighters ever. But he didn't. That is why there is doubt and discussion.

    Nah it's over now. Can I ask you if you think I'm in the right or not, on the balance of the whole conversation me and MAG have had just now?

    Why are you still talking about Duran when I already told you that that SEPERATE debate I had with you was clearly about your rationale regarding what the word 'domination' is. That was nothing to do with Roberto Duran, stop it now it's getting out of hand, you're making a laughing stock out of yourself.

    You said;

    'stopping a fighter is domination'

    I responded to that. If you need to know why I checkmated you then refer to my replies that I have ALREADY made, do not continue rambling. Thanks

    Mag. Just so i can be clear that you are atleast consistent in your criteria (no matter how much I disagree with any list I can always respect consistency, even if it's frank's list :-() who are the 20-24 fighters that you believe are greater than duran?

    mag is usually a logical poster on other boxers but when it comes to Duran he seems to underrate Roberto Druan. Duranimal and Mag also argued a lot about Duran! Maybe mag bet on Duran in one of his losses and lost money!!!! hahahahaa

    i think you are one of the more clear and coherent posters on the forum, regardless of whether i agree with what you're saying. i just end up in stitches reading some of these dialogues when someone who is being so explicit is still not understood! but then maybe for some people distinguishing between concepts is more difficult than it is for others e.g. recognising the difference between someone's skill and what they achieved.

    in terms of what you were talking about, sure, i agree with you.

    mayweather's got a lot going for him, i just wish he'd fight more. i want to see him fight martinez at 160 but it would never happen. if he did i think he would put in a good showing, which would be legendary!

    I think this comes down to mag genuinely believing that hearns and hill are greater than duran and he struggles to grasp how anyone thinks differently

    For once.name the 20 or so fighters you rate above him. Your post doesn't mean crap unless you name the 20.

    mag once again basically ignores the first 13 years of Duran's career. let take the first 13 years out of any fighrers career and see how good he looks.
