Absolutely NOT, 1980's = SRL, by far. Close resume with Duran though! 2000's Floyd 2010's Floyd[/QUOTE] Duran was better than Ali in the 70`s but Ali had more classic fights then, Duran started the 80`s great but faded badly and ruined his rep with ''No Mas'' rematch while Tyson went on to tear the 80`s apart, JC Chavez was pound for pound top of the tree for much longer than Duran during the 80`s.[/QUOTE] There's literally no argument to be made for Duran in the 80's. Ali was the 70's for sure, Duran #2. He had 1 really good win in 1980, then he fell off. SRL dominated that decade with atg wins all over the place.
mine all overlap. ali, arguello, leonard, duran, tyson, chavez, dlh, pac. my current favorites are spence, mikey, loma.
What did Duran do in the 60`s to match Ali`s performance against Cleveland Williams? Duran was far better in the 70`s when he became champ beating the first world fighter he had faced up to that point.
