Roberto Duran at light weight, and in his prime would have pulverized Mayweather, Whitaker and any other boxer who dare step in the ring with this beast. He was hungry, fast, powerful, stamina for days, best chin, great defense, boxer, puncher. Come on, this cat was one of a kind. He beat Leonard, Barkley, Palomino almost beat Hagler, Moore while way past his prime, and 3-4 higher weight divisions. Truly the best of all time!!!:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke
Yes his ferociousness, footwork and in fighting ability was as good as i've ever seen in the ring. Benny Leonard is a close runner up though.
He's righfully up at the top amongst guys like Whitaker and Mayweather. It's hard to put one over the other as they were all such amazing talents. My guess though is at Lightweigfht whitaker beats him about like he beat chavez sr. I suppose than Whitakerr is my personal Fav LW of my time as I havn't been around for all time .
Mayweather has had like 4 fights at Lightweight, 2 of them to Castillo and one of said fights was controversial. If we are talking about best ever super featherweight, he's in the discussion. But that's the only weight class he can have a claim of being the GOAT in.
Your poll is confusing too. I answered "No" but that was to the question in the thread title, not the poll title. atsch
Duran, B. Leonard and Joe Gans are interchangeable for the number one spot at light weight. Floyd is great, but having him even in the top 10 all-time is a joke. This division is way to deep and he did to little at that weight.
