Who's Greater: Roberto Duran or Muhammad Ali?

GGG didn't make the top 20. Walker and Burley are at 147, and he didn't really stay at one division for too long (he's a bit like Langford or Pacquiao in that regard). Fullmer is around 20 IIRC.

 

I'm talking about Sims vs Barkley there, but absolutely. Barkley vs Duran, and virtually anyone, is awesome.

What? No no no, the left hook gave Duran problems. He won a fire fight based on his high land-rate with that left hook, it's also what caused the two (flash) KDs. DeJesús couldn't beat a close to prime Duran, and that's why he had his clock cleaned, twice, by him.

Duran had the footspeed to chase Leonard down, the other two was when he was overweight and unmotivated. In his prime he chased down pure-boxers for fun, fights Buchanan, Fernandez, Viruet III ect. show this.

 

Smith? Smith? 'Ave you gone mad?

 

That wasn't a prime Duran, and so isn't open to criticize. That was my point. And I don't think you quite got my point about DeJesús' left hook. He went to war with Duran, and won because a green Duran was open to the left hook. A prime Duran, who squashed DeJesús like a bug, rectified this issue.

Floyd has all of the ingredients to give Duran a real fight, but if Leonard can't out-box him, or out-fight him, I fail to see how Floyd does. Especially when he had so much trouble with JLC and Maidana.

 

Yeah, I use Boxrec as spell check more than a record keeper.
