Is Roberto Duran the greatest boxer since Sugar Ray Robinson?

Farrah isn't British. That way we get to keep Fitz and Lennox!

 

Oh yeah, I remember that - he had Ray on ***** street and it took him until the eighth to recover. But I also remember Ray trading on the inside quite a lot.

 

I hear you but i sometimes think length of reign is often overrated in peoples assessment. People rate the time in years as important over the number of defences and the quality involved.

Seems to me that Leonard is penalised because he essentially cherrypicked some of the best fighters of all time and beat them. I find that more impressive with inactivity/ injuries involved.

 

Farah's dad is British.

 

Lennoxs' Dad is Jamacian....

 

That's because Duran hustled him to the ropes. It's not like he waved him in there like Ali or anything.

 

I've shared this before, but it may be of interest again given the thread title...

Nope, I don't class Fitz as British. I should've made itclear, Iwasreferring to Vano claiming Wilde as 'p4p puncher' :good

 

It's like this:

1. Duran
2. Ali
3. Leonard
4. Whitaker
5. Monzon

 

Yep, pretty much, though I'd give PAC and Marv' a shout for the 5th spot as well (what ya like when it comes to those 3 IMO)

 

1 duran
2 ali
3 srl
4 pea
5-10 Hagler, Monzon, Chavez, Jones Jr, Pacquiao & Hopkins

Super emeritus DrMo Diamond champion: Locche

 

Im pretty sure he considered himself a Kiwi. He of course then became an American citizen so its very sketchy.

It seems however he was much more likely to consider himself a Kiwi or even American above being British.

 

If we're claiming Lewis then we're claiming Fitz.
