    Because it makes him a fighter who embarrassingly/inexcusably quit in one of his most important fights.

    But that was as a 147lber, Duran would of had to of cut of a leg to make 135 by then.

    It has nothing to do with whether he could still make 135. That was one of the most disgraceful/inexcusable quit jobs I've ever seen by a world class fighter. That has to affect his assessment as a fighter at any weight.

    I've never known a losing record to be the way you thought it to be nor have known anyone else to.

    And that's all fair and well as you have completely explained your stance and reasoning. MANY will disagree, but your criteria is there for all to see.

    Of course i knew this all along given your smitten rankings of Burley in various capacities

    :D

    Cheers mate

    You're probably right. It's a free world and if someone decides that the amount of titles won in different weights is one of the strongest areas for rating greatness, so be it.

    Calling BS, Herol Graham from Ingle's used to spar hard. Its well known Hamed spared with Jonny Nelson, Junior Witter etc etc, sometimes it was only bodysparring however
