    I've always found Dejesus 2 to be more impressive than Dejesus 3. Is there anyone else who feels the same way?

    Yes I seem to have confused nodding smiley with rolling side to side laughing smiley.

    Duran was already a boxing genius by 1974 - his performance in DeJesus II is that good...

    As for peak I reckon his best 3 years based on age and experience 1976-1978.

    The Leonard win being of most historical value, and a product of being highly motivated rather than him at his very best per se. In that regard I view it as a bit like Ali's win over Foreman

    Totally agree...

    135 was Duran's peak.

    Be serious.It took Arguello 9 or 10 rounds to start pulling away from the awkward attack, energy level and quicker hands of a youngMancini...after being hit flush with dozens of punches.

    Dealt with Ganigan quicker, but again was hurt and hit plenty.

    Duran from Marcel onward was too good for Alexis and would get to him way too much, though it wouldn't be an easy night.

    Duran must be the most debated non-heavyweight in the history of this forum...
