    I think it would be a tad harsh to pver;y hold 1 lightweight loss that he avenged twice emphatically with both at their best.

    I appreciate your point tho (we are talking the absolute pinnacle after all) and actually rank SRR above him. This one loss however doesn't tip thing SRR's way for me, it's other things.

    As I said, if you genuinely believe De Jesus, Cuevas and Buchanan are alongside Leonard, Hagler and Hearns, and even Benitez. Then I can't dispute what you say.
    I'll just politely agree to disagree.

    The rest is apples and oranges e.g. 40-41 year old SRR (who lost one and was robbed of a win btw against Fullmer) against a 29-32 year old Duran.

    As a complete offensive whirlwind - the Palomino and Montreal performing Duran, oh, a joy to watch in slow motion to catch all the subtleties of the skillset.

    I can see the premise - respectfully tho, I do have to disagree - Sweet as Sugar Robinson and likely Ezzard at his absolute best eek out Roberto. We are talking about minor, minor margins here tho.

    How about you read the article, or at least present an argument other than a **** insult?
