    Have you ever seen the fight George ? It was Duran who deliberately hit Ken low after the bell sounded for the end of the round. It was blatant. The ref Johnny LoBianco was like Bob Bennett trying to save Floyd's ass saying he did nothing wrong. Ken spent the night in agony in hospital his family jewels iced up thanks to Duran's so called legitimate punch

    Yeah, I'm a HUGE Duran fan, I've seen almost all of his title fights. Ken hit Duran after the bell, then Duran hit Ken back below the bell.

    I didn't discredit Gatti. I discredited Hopkins.

    Not really, nothing I implied was untrue. Hopkins finally years as a boxer were woefully boring.

    Duran. The lighter weights have superior opponents, more skilled practitioners than the upper weights.

    Ali. Walk into your nearest pub or McDonald's with a picture of each one. Who gets picked ? Not just the greatest Heavyweight but in George Foreman's words "The greatest man that ever laced on gloves".

    I can't believe my eyes when looking at the poll more people gave their votes to Duran than those who voted for Ali. This is crazy!
