Roberto Duran calls today's fighters mediocre at best!

Joan Guzman and his ilk are the target of his statements.

 

Sounds like a bitter old man to me.

 

And do you think that he would last more than 5 rounds with Duran at lightweight?:-(

 

he's not the only one that speaks for himself. the guys fought in 3 different eras of boxing, so he can't be critized for saying they were better in his time because they actually were! i'm curious to what someone like B-hops would have to say which era he thinks was better, the 90's or millineum?.:think

 

A bitter old man who is a legend. Something EPO Wladdy will never be. :yep

 

A bitter old man who lost to all of the best fighters in his era.:good

 

Duran is right on the button:deal

 

Oh ****! Duran's resume just got dissed by a Wladimir Klitschko fan. Now I've seen everything.

 

:yep

 

well look who he fought regardless of his losses. Dejesus, Buchanan,Benitez,Hearns,Leonard,Hagler,Barkley,Cueves. There was a post on here the other day asking if Mayweather was the best ever, and I am not sure how anyone can think that. He has not fought enough greats to be able to know. He fought one hall of famer or legit one who was a little older.

 

He did lose to all the best in his era. Benitez and Hearns outclassed him also similar to how Oscar was outclassed by Pacman.

 

Exactly. This is the character of rabid Klitschko fanatics. Very Sad. And they wonder why they get so much heat around here.

 

How dare someone who made there name from boxing turn around and slami t.. Oh wait it was Duran being critical not Calzaghe, never mind, I completley agree. Well said Roberto

 

:-(

 

I never said a damn thing about Duran's resume. Do you have problems with reading comprehension? Duran's resume is great... however he lost to the best fighters of his era. He fought a lot of great fighters... he just lost to them.
