    i remember watching that live.. i almost broke into tears, it was a revelation to see first hand.. awesome..

    Its like seeing someone like an old Larry Holmes return and stab holes in Chagaev with that jab just one last time...

    if max baer defined fear as "standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early" I have no idea what standing in the ring with Duran would be like

    Duran was an amazing fighter. :good

    What's even more amazing is that THAT man, uttered the words "No Mas". Now that says something about SRL doesn't it?

    No question , it proves how good ( and how tough ) Sugar was but it was frustration not fear or pain that turned Robertos heart that night.

    I've always felt thats partly why he fought on so long , to prove it was a mistake.

    Still a absolute hard core legend !

    My favorite fighter, and I know I'm not alone. A man that could move you solely by the effort he gave.

    June 20, 1980, Montreal: Duran wins in a decision
    It's easy to argue for Leonard's 14-round knockout of Thomas Hearns. At the time the fights took place, Leonard-Hearns was bigger than Leonard-Duran. The first Leonard-Hearns fight pitted two all-time greats in their absolute primes. The bout was great to watch, and there were constant shifts in momentum. But the first Duran-Leonard fight pitted perhaps the greatest lightweight of all time against perhaps the second greatest welterweight of all time. It also featured the top two fighters in the world at the time. They were both in tremendous shape, which was not the case in the rematch, for which Duran did not prepare well. There was great action. The skill and guts in the ring was just about as high as possible. Duran, the best fighter of the '70s, beat back Leonard, the younger, larger, faster fighter of the '80s.

    most significant fight last 30 years espn
