    Im not going to definitevly say it was but I was watching Duran-DeJesus III again the other day and Roberto was just straight up T-101 in that fight, excellent display.

    I don't think I've ever seen a better overall fighter than Duran that night, perhaps his performance in Leonard I as it was against a higher caliber fighter, but he did everything against DeJesus, he was so dominant that night.

    I agree it's probably Dejesus III, but the Buchanan fight because of Duran's age and the caliber of the opponent is right up there too.

    Either that, or the second Viruet fight IMO.

    Dejesus 3.

    Brilliant mix of boxing and controlled aggression.

    Fights 1 & 2 with DeJesus were great / vintage Duran...... Ray Lampkin getting KO'd late was also good...
