    The only fighter on there that dominated their division in a similar manner to Duran and has a single win on their resume that comes to a prime undefeated welterweight Sugar Ray Leonard, is Sugar Ray Robinson. The only one.

    EDIT: Hopkins' consistency almost does; it comes close on one of those sunny BHOP da Executioner days.

    the guy likes Michael Spinks who cheated to beat a terrible Holmes!!!!!!!!! Pernell Whitakr? Floyd would have outclassed him easily!!!!!

    Not a single fighter from before the late 70's

    Virgil Hill in the top 20

    Larry Holmes in the top 5

    final destination

    You're right, missed it. Still a 2nd rate list.

    I have no idea what this SweetPea guy is saying though, incomprehensible

    you think he is bad. Ricky Ricardo seems like more of an idiot. and his avatar with Mayweather looking like a nice guy is even more stupid.

    yeah

    so MAG has given us a false list. He has been asked repeatedly to GIVE US THE 20 NAMES HE RANKS OVER DURAN ALL TIME. And instead he has given us the 14 men he ranks over Duran in the past 30 years, which very conveniently cuts off Duran's lightweight reign and his win over Leonard.

    MAG, answer what has been asked of you all day now please. Who are the 20 or 25 guys you rank over Roberto Duran all time. No cut off dates, no last 30 years blah blah, just the all time list. The time has come. Just the list.

    the thread isn't about Mayweather. MAG is dodging questions. Lufcrazy asked him CLEARLY and he responded with a distorted answer, he's acting like a troll.
