    I have Duran ahead

    I feel he's better in a P4P sense and he also had the superior longevity. Deeper resume as well in my opinion.

    I give Duran the edge for his GOAT lightweight record and winning the MW title at 37 against Barkley, i have no idea where that performance came from... unbelievable

    Roberto Duran. He was "pound for pound" above Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns. He dominated the lightweight division during the 70's, and moved up to win titles in three more divisions. His longevity at the top was also better than the others. He took a prime Hagler the distance when he was 25lbs above his natural weight.

    A very special fighter indeed.

    Absolutely Duran. Duran is probably one of the five greatest fighters ever.

    Why?

    Leonard beat him twice and beat the other Fab 4, while Duran lost to all of them, uncluding another in Benitez who Leonard stopped. Leonard has the BIG advantage 147 and up, and aside from that, Duran has his LW career, which arguably puts him in the lead due to it being his natural weight and considering his dominance at the weight. Then again, Buchanan and Dejesus were the only semi-great names he fought there.

    So, I'd say it is debatable, both are pretty close in their rankings. Both arguably top 10, Duran is NOT a top 5 IMO.

    Bigtime is offline, but he gave me his response and told me to post it:


    :lol: :lol: Yer too dumb fer stoopid!

    Floyd: Castillo twice, Corrales, Hernandez, Judah, Hatton, DLH(dominated them all)

    SRL: Lost to Duran, beat him in rematches that didn't count
    Lost to Hagler, was given a gift
    Lost to Hearns in the rematch, should've lost the first fight
    Was given a gift stoppage against Benitez:deal

    So, yeah, how does SRL top Floyd? Don't worry I'll wait.:rofl
