    Pretty much disagree with most of this, but that is okay, and why we have opinions. I'd call them a shade above mediocre as a whole, but I also happen to think DeJesus and Ken rank higher for me than you h2h. Which is why I disagree with your SRL comment. I agree he's overrated in a depth/resume/longevity perspective, but h2h he had it all imo. So Duran conquering these men means a good deal in my ranking of him.

    Not if you give a little added weight to h2h. IYO which fighter did Benny beat that you'd favor over Duran/?

    Well there are parts of both of what you say I agree with .. Ray(overall) is a tad overrated for me but he sure the hell wasn't when he fought Duran an Tommy .. And I don't buy for one second that Duran's comp. at LW was some easy go, in fact I would say what he accomplished at LW was extremely difficult and very challenging . And I think he answers this himself when he goes up at beats SRL at Ray's best weight
