    So do I. Its pretty obvious that when you make a fighter quit and walk away waving his hands that you have beaten him.
    Despite that I still love me some " Manos De Piedra ". What a fighter.

    He ran for his life. Duran got tired of chasing him.

    ESPN did a documentary on the No Mas fight ...at the end of the documentary they put Leonard and Duran in a boxing ring facing each other to discuss the fight ...Duran could not look Leonard in the eye and regurgitate all the bull**** that his fans say on message boards ...

    Duran won the first fight with psychological warfare...calling Leonard’s wife a ***** ....Leonard won the 2nd fight with psychological warfare...end of story

    Before their first fight on June 20 1980, Roberto Duran tried to intimidate Sugar Ray Leonard by hurling insults at Leonard's wife in spanish, possibly causing problems between Ray and Juanita, as he would not respond to Duran. If you noticed in that fight, he brawled with Ray and it looked at times, he used street fighting tactics that the referee did not notice. Ray clearly won the 2nd and 3rd fights.

    That is a lie. He looks him right in the eye. Leonard looks scared. Duran is still in rays head 24/7. He obsesses over losing big to Duran and never beating him at his best. Duran just enjoys his life. It was just 1 night to him.
    Leonard has spent the rest of his life trying to downplay the ***** moves before he would fight guys. He knows fans think less of him because of it. So do you. You just won't admit it.
    Head to head, both great shape, DURAN BEAT LEONARDS ASS 11-4 AND NEVER THOUGHT MUCH OF HIM AGAIN. VIVA DURAN!

    Lmao he does not look scared ! .. and he does not obsess over Duran ...you wanna see an obsession? Look at the way Hagler obsesses over Leonard ... I didn’t hear Duran say any of this **** about “ you didn’t really beat me “.

    Duran never thought much of anyone apparently...now he’s going around saying he was out of shape for Tommy Hearns too

    How many of your all time greats that beat him were in his natural division lightweight?
