    You're putting Winky and VERNON FORREST on the same level with Benitez and Hearns? Serious? You keep writing Leonard was 50% when he fought Duran the 1st time when he employed the same strategy upon stopping Tommy after getting outboxed in the 1st half of the fight while sticking and moving. As far as Cotto being FAR GREATER than Simms and Laing, maybe p4p but Miguel beat a shot to **** Martinez to win the title at 160 and is 4-2 at 154. As far as DeJesus is concerned, yes he was a drug addict but that had to be towards the end of his career because he went 15 a few times throughout, including a 15 round decision loss to Pambele a couple of years AFTER being stopped by Duran the 1st time. He could not have been on heroin fighting for 15 rounds, a distance the admitted steroid user Shane never had to do in his whole career. I just don't get your wilting down the stretch comment when he had gone 15 with Pambele amongst one or two more. And while we're talking about Shane, do you honestly believe the fellow that was dropped twice by Vernon is going the distance with Hagler?
