    Louis, Robinson, Hagler, Leonard, Hearns and Duran arguably had their best wins after their first losses.

    I think it’s time to interject Rocky Marciano into the discussion so this can be considered a proper Classic threat.

    I eagerly await Classic's day of rejoicing when some contender or other adopts the name "Rocky Duran."
