    We all know how good his wins over Ken Buchanan and Esteban DeJesus were in light of there achievements. But how about the other 10 opponents his title defences consisted of? Was this a particularily good era for Lightweights or a rather poor one? I only ask as I don't really recognise names like Hector Thompson and Ray Lampkin (then again I don't know much about Lightweights that far back). Just how good were they

    Duran had a few run of the mill opponents at 135lbs but it was his performances that were spectacular. He was absolutely f*ckin lethal!

    Second best lightweight ever next to Pernell!
