Thread: Roberto Duran - How strong was he!

Just watched Duran vs Barkley - and Barkley literally looks the size of Froch & Kessler and yet Duran is taking his shots, matching him for strenght and knocking him down in the 11th - AND he is still slipping Barkleys shots to a large degree! Unbelievable!


P.s. WHAT A FIGHT

Arguably the best lightweight that ever lived and a top welter. Underrated as a boxer and technician. Was pretty much unbeatable for 13 years, defended his lightweight title a dozen times, handed Leonard his first defeat and reached a pinnacle of 71 and 1 with 56 knockouts. He had great footwork along with head movement, could feint and counter with pin point accuracy, remain in punching position and slip shots. A complete fighter imo.

71-1 absolutely amazing

It really is @walrus. I'd give my left nut for a time machine to match him against the likes of Benny Leonard and Armstrong @135.

I'd love to see him destroy everyone between 130 and 147 today and yes that means Floyd too!
