*~* Welterweight GOAT Tournament *~* Roberto Duran vs Sugar Ray Leonard.

One interesting pattern is that the polls is 25 for Duran and 23 for Leonard, which is very close, but more people pick Leonard to win by split decision than pick Duran to win by split decision. This seems to fit, since Leonard beating a properly conditioned Duran would be a close fight, one in which Leonard made subtle changes from Montreal, whereas Duran really put a beating on Leonard in Montreal. Even if you pick Leonard to win, it's hard to imagine him winning confortably. Duran's aggression probably wins one card at least.

 

I picked SRL by SD but, had I have known what this tournament thing was all about I would have picked Duran by SD. SRL would not have known how to fight Duran until after their first fight. As everyone knows the first fight went Duran's way.

 

Why fight this one again or even ask, it's like you didnt like the outcome and you want a poll to change it, Duran won, he didnt train for whatever reason for the 2nd one, his huge mistake, then didnt want to get embarrassed in the 2nd fight and NO MAS!
