Duran: was 2nd rd KO loss to Hearns worse than "No Mas" fight?

"No mas" was worse, as it was seemingly a statement on Duran's character. He backed down from a fight. Against Hearns, he took his bomb like a man.

 

Agree.

 

Not in the same league.

 

Leonard didn't humiliat Duran. Duran humiliated himself.

 

This.

 

Exactly...

 

Absolutely:good. Duran is my favorite fighter ever (Leonard is the fighter I dislike the most), and I remember feeling betrayed when he quit. No Mas is far worse than the loss to Tommy.

 

What does that even mean?

 

lets be fair, it was equal parts of both.

 

aye :good

 

Let's put it this way, if Duran was a Gamedog he'd have been put down after the Leonard fight...

 

I think the LKO2 Hearns was worse.
I mean, I'd rather do another "No Mas" than get poleaxed by Thomas Hearns.

Hearns didn't really give him a chance to "No Mas", which was a little unkind of him.

I think the "No Mas" incident was more bewildering than humiliating. I think some people interpreted it as a humiliation, but most were just scratching their heads and looking for answers.

 

Educate me on the build up/post fight of Hearns-Duran? Much hype going in? Did Duran ever clamor for a rematch after getting dispatched so quickly? It looks like he didnt fight for a year and a half following that loss.

Also interesting that Barkley beats Hearns and follows with a loss to Duran..but those two manage to not find again.
