Beating Sugar Ray Leonard has got to be.
Because Ken Buchanan was controversial that wouldn't of made him great
Neither did De Jesus.
When he beat Barkley it made him more of a legend but Iran was never a gret boxer.
One hellofa fighter do
From his first win to his last, from his first loss to his last Duran was amazing. Anybody with an eye surely saw that.
If we can discuss other fighters & not just Duran...how about Floyd Mayweather jr?
Rule of thumb says it was TKOing Genaro Hernandez for the WBC's Super Feather belt.
My opinion?
Wacko says the Corrales win showed Floyd's true form. I say that was when his greatness came into play...not just the Oscar win...as many are now saying made him great.
Anyone?
I don't consider Floyd grat just yet.
He has awesome potentional but hasn't captured the publics imagination
Sparring with Rocky Balboa ;D ;D
Seriously the 2 DeJesus wins,or Hector Thompson
Beating Leanard made him a well known great in the States though
so who did Dejesus and thompson beat that made them great?Quote:

you assume correctly because i personally think he's way too high on the all time list and he beat up a bunch of bums and padded his record....Quote:

Sort of like Duran,except with alot more losses
What you are showing is complete ignorance and proving that your knowledge of him is based on a piece of paper with his opponents written on!Quote:

and gomez? please!!!!!!
So I ask again who was it that made duran great? because he just a has a padded record and a win over SRL...
other than ray no one else he beat is considered great so how is it that he's considered great?
