How do you rate Hearns win over Duran?

You have issues my friend. I have clearly stated what should be unambiguously interpretable to normal people. I said 'the biggest scalp on paper' because of Duran's name in the boxing world, and the physical difference between the two fighters which most also have noted. Virgil Hill, an actual LHW, was a tougher fight and everyone knew that would be the tougher fight. That's the better victory imo. But Hill doesn't have the same name recognition.

 

Organised crime, the mob and what not. No thanks.

 

Well, news articles are Bokaj-approved so....

 

I'm sure every sentence isn't.

What was your former user name in here, I've seen your style previously.

 

This was the first I've ever heard or seen about something like this, but I do actually think this weighs quite heavily.

So, can you now say the same about all the articles quoted in the thread I posted?

Doesn't effect how I view Hearns's destruction of your boy, though, since he'd already gone 15 competitive rounds with Hagler. And, of course, wouldn't be smashed ever again like that. All the things that have been said.

And it doesn't make your own failure to just state that it was an ATG performance any less clear. Instead sticking with fairly meaningless "on paper" and "looked" etc. So do that or please shut up and go away. Either would save you some dignity.


So that will be it discussing this with you. Just hadn't seen the article before (had a look when you referred to an article, but didn't find it), so thought it would be decent to comment on it.

 

As I said, you have some issues. "My boy" lol. Who is yours? Oh nevermind...

'Save me dignity'?? I am not the one losing his s**t over things he doesn't know about. I am not the one arguing like a twelve year old over semantics ("just say it to console me" lol)

If you have any dignity left, just shut up and admit that you were wrong and try to do something about your weird obssession with excuses and Duran. The irony of being called a Duran fanboy while taking away credit from him, all because one unadjusted poster can't not see excuses everywhere he looks.

 

None. Not you too, John. The entire argument for the legitimacy of the 2nd fight exists because of apparent news articles with broken links that the resident SRL cheerleaders selectively believe in.

You can't have it both ways. I imagine a mob boss admitting this random factoid would likely be true, as mob's involvement in betting is/was well known.

 

It can be had both ways for sure. One simply has to get to the bottom of the facts as best they can.

In another thread i just saw you trying to claim Arguello was peak against Marcel to massively upgrade Duran's win over Marcel. I'm definitely not going to keep going back and forth at depth against that sort of disingenuity.

 

Yeah, that's a narrative you have built in your head. It is entirely possible that maybe I just rate Marcel that highly? Arguello vs Marcel was 4 years after the Duran fight anyway.

I am being disingenuous? You have 3 posters dogpiling against any dissenting opinion just because it doesn't fit their narrative. All I did was post something that I find no reason to disbelieve. I am sure there is some place where "mob? No thanks" is a good argument but not anywhere I am aware of. You are being disingenuous in your reply. Meanwhile the cheerleaders think that Duran was a natural ww just to console themselves. That's not ingenuity. I didn't see no Duran fans dogpiling them.

 

In my head you're leaving a trail behind you a blind deaf man could follow

The "others" have no place in our discussion. I was short in my reply not disingenuous.

I'll hammer on Marcel in the other thread.

 

You see what you want to see. You can follow whatever phantom you suppose you see. I am saying everything I believe, no trail needed.

 

I don't and I am a massive Duran fan.

 

I think the win is perhaps being overrated. This was a Duran that was losing to guys like Laing and Simms. Hearns beat him more decisively but as Hearns is a bigger puncher that is to be expected.

 

So why didn't Moore beat him and why was he so competitive with Hagler? They were bigger punchers than Laing.

 

Was easily one of the top wins for the Hit man, no one else cracked Duran like that.
