Show me a more aggressive, offensively skilled fighter that comes close to matching Duran's defense in conjunction with it? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH6wI11zy2g&feature=youtube_gdata_player"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH6wI11zy2g&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/ame]
:good Only a clueless moron could think Duran wasn`t one of the greatest & best ever fighters, baffling.
Arguably greatest lightweight with only one great win in Buchanan. Dejesus is not even hof. His losses to bum Lang and Benitez show how **** he is. Let's not forget how he fought on emotion and quit in the worst way imaginable
Can u tell us who you feel is the best exponent of the feint on boxing? One of the most valuable and difficult attributes to master,it's clear a joke like Duran wouldn't be able to pull it off. Don't spoil the fun Hands Of Iron mate.:good
I'm starting to think there should be a "Leonard didn't fight his fight/Duran is overrated" thread to go along with TKO6 and the Whine About Mayweather/Pacquiao Express. Maybe in the classic.
Duran is easily the most hated retired fighter on this forum - the general section - and I mean easily. It's pathetic.
You can get banned for shitting on tards, but this is acceptable. Pathetic. The TS should stick to tetherball. But then again he might get tangled up with the rope. BTW Duran easily top 10 ATG. TS top 5 dumbass!
DeJesus is actually in the World Boxing HOF, which was established over a decade prior to the IBHOF. Honestly, it's a nice gauge of things for era's far gone, but when you have a good amount of film available it's better to judge things on your own. DeJesus was a tremendous fighter - who would've ran the decade if it wasn't for Duran's existence in the division - and stayed right at the forefront of things of the throughout. He was the No. 1 rated lightweight at the time of all three of their fights. You won't find anywhere near the same regard held for Ray Lampkin or Edwin Viruet who also made ascensions towards the top before being beaten by Duran in their title shots.

If you're going to create these type of threads, the least you could do is inject some wit into it. Be a little clever, this is lifeless.
