Duran has became so overrated that it is beyond belief. Loses to all of the best fighters that he faced, and gets ranked above all of them. Now he beats SRR?atsch
Aye, if you want to use a Robinson who's fought above lightweight, bring him down, match him with Duran, his chances probably get better due to the experience, but if you're matching "lightweight Robinson" against lightweight Duran, you're matching a 16-0, 17-0 fighter with Roberto Duran, and that guy would get ruined.
What the **** man, nobody is saying peak for peak. Robinson was 16-0 (i think) the last time he made the lightweight limit, you're picking this guy to beat peak Duran?
Robinson beat agnott the 1st time in about his 22nd fight and having quickly just checked boxrec made 135 for the last only 3 months before the agnott fight so lets be fair he was the same fighter at that point that could beat a great lightweight in agnott 3 months later. For the record i don't think he beats duran, i'm actually pretty sure he doesn't, stylewise i think duran even at welterweight could cause robinson issues though ray beats him there, but i can't see duran destroying him
Holy ****. #1 vs. #3. Wow, hard to say, power vs power, speed vs speed, 2 awesome defenses, both master technicians and tacticians, and both stubborn prideful men. In a best of 3, they split 2 fights, and have 1 draw. Both split fights are razor thin for either guy.
at 135, it's Duran. even at 147 i'd see him giving SSR a great fight, but SSR would take it on a SD or late KO.
