    That's the best one I've seen too but there are a few I haven't seen and I was wondering if Duran was as good in any of those as I may order some more of his lightweight career this week.

    De Jesus III, probably sums up Duran's effectiveness as fighter more than any other.

    His most savage was against Ray Lampkin. Who he brutally destroyed. & didn't Duran say" If he was in shape, They would be taking him to the Morgue. Intead of the hospital" Just devistating.

    De Jesus II was a great fight. I really rate De Jesus. Got to be not far off top ten all time at Lightweight, he was slick and powerful, yet Duran progressively broke him down with his relentless style. The only guy who might have got close to that version of Duran was Pernell Whitaker
