    I don't count Duran/Buchanan as impressive due to controversial ending, no doubt Duran was ahead in the fight but the ending does take some shine off the win.

    Yes it does, but just how dominant he was against a great champion and a style that should work very well against him in theory, makes it very impressive imo. Ditto for Toney vs Nunn which admittedly has a highlight reel KO to embellish it.

    It makes it somehow even more savage for me, a complete destruction both legal and illegal. Poor Buchanan, a really good fighter.
