How much does "No Mas" effect your views of Duran?

See title. This has been a black cloud over Duran his whole career and I want to see what fans of the sweet science think on this matter...

 

None, when i think of duran the first thing that comes to my mind is "hands of stone"

 

it's a loss, an embarassing loss and signalled the end of his true prime. do i count it that much against him? not really. he had his pride and he stuck with it.

 

There's no shame in getting tortured by a Sugar.

 

none- because he never actually said 'no mas', he quit because he was getting outboxed and clowned on, not beaten up...he said something like 'no voy a boxear con el payaso' meaning 'im not going to fight this clown'

 

Thats mostly just boxing myhtology. Duran was a legend no doubt.

 

Not at all. He's more then made up for it.

 

this is true. i mean i hated the way leonard was clowning and all but well, duran quit. either way, it was still quitting.

 

Exactly he still quit no matter the circumstances but at the end of the day he's still a legend.

 

Affects him quite a bit i think. He is a great fighter but come on look at Victor Ortiz. He did the same thing and Ortiz was getting hammered by Maidana.

What makes it worse is that he is Latino.

 

Did you just compared Victor Ortiz with Roberto Duran?

 

Don't think he meant a physical comparison as much as a situational comparison.

 

Difference is that Ortiz quit because he couldn't take the punishment (and was afraid of taking any more), Duran quit because SRL was trying to humiliate him by showboating. It isn't the same thing

 

Well, which one is worse?

 

Some ****in bull**** on this thread. Duran must be the only fighter in history to be excused for quitting. ****in bull****.
