I was thinking this the other day.

Duran is perhaps the best lightweight that ever lived, and you would be hard pressed to pick anyone over him at that weight (personally, i think pernell whitaker could have beaten him and benny leonard would have given him a good scrap but each to their own).

The thing is though, people make out he was invincible at 135, like he couldn't be beaten

But the thing is, he was beaten at that weight.

Yet there is never any mention of it, not historically, not in head to head match up, seemingly, not ever

Like he gets some free pass from it, or because people for some reason forget it.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know why there seems to be some sort of selective amnesia when it comes to durans lightweight loss? :huh I'm not hating on the guy, he's one of my heros, its just that it never, ever seems to get a mention
