    there two great fighters,

    but such horrible sportsmans at times its embarrassing:patsch


    i am a fan of both of there warriors, but they truly had their bad moments,

    i saw on youtube after morales knocked out a fighter, he runs over to take pictures over the fallen fighter. theres also the water bottle thrown at barreras dad :-(


    duran refused to shake benitez or leonards hand after the fight and instead jumps around enraged, it looked kinda strange considering that he's a grown man in a proffesional sport. the lampkin comments where pretty tasteless too.


    both of these fighters are such greats that i guess its easy for people to over look how odd the behavior is after the fight.

    i think duran became more of a gentlemen after retiring:thumbsup

    I believe Morales had harsh words prior to the fight with the guy he stood and posed over, so it's somewhat understandable.

    Morales thought Velardez was disrespectful of Mexico City when he beat his brother, so that's why Erik was still so disrespectful even after he beat him.
