Educate Me On Roberto Duran...

This

"I personally think that Montreal Leonard fought in a way more akin to his usual style than the one that fought Duran in New Orleans. I mean, look at how prime Leonard hunted down Hearns, Benitez, or Kalule, he didn't win those fights by dancing on the back-foot and outboxing his opponents, but by taking the fight to them and outworking them onto stoppages."

Especially against Benitez, Leonard stalked and hunted him down.

 

Yeah,he mostly just outboxes to show off in the early rounds,then he starts stalking SD the fights went on.
I hear that Leonard's plans on Montreal was to take Duràn out on 4-5.

 

He was a fantastic fighter HOF ATG no doubt, but I always felt if you took away his lightweight resume, that his resume after is very checkered. Still quite good but not great. At lightweight he was definitely one of the greatest no doubt.

 

People would have been talking about Davey Moore as a great if Duran hadn't run him over like a cement truck.
