    I've seen footage of Duran skipping whilst doing squats at the same time.

    In the clip below he is squatting very low down for a few seconds. Is he still jumping rope at this stage or is he waving the rope on either side of him?

    It's difficult to tell.

    I think he's just waving the rope while squatting low. Hard to tell.

    I think he's taking that dump that he needed in New Orleans

    I don't think he's jumping rope at that point.

    That would be beyond belief!

    Hahaha!

    I don't understand why Duran would let himself go ahead of the Leonard rematch.

    He said that Leonard was his toughest opponent after the first fight so you would think this would be one time where he would have to stay disciplined.

    Or give himself more time he was the champ Leonard has to work around his schedule he's the one with the prize don't let the challengers dictate when the fight takes place. Also before the verdict of the first fight had been called he was talking sh1t to Benitez who was in front row wonder why they didn't pursue that fight straight after since Duran looked like he wanted it unless there was a rematch clause.

    Duran I've read didn't want to fight Ray in the second go, at least not then, and was forced into it by the powers that be because how much money was involved. I wish he would have just told them no and refused, he made the weight but wasn't into the fight at all, Just didn't want to be there.
