Sort of like Duran,except with alot more losses
are you talking about josue? because there's no way in hell beating him would make any one great..
and garcia? fighting a lot of fights doesn't make him great esp when his resume is a virtual who's who's of nobody's
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?
Gee Thompson held numerous belts over his career,and was a mandatory for the WBA belt twice
DeJesus won the WBC belt and held it for 3 defenses before Duran unified
Marquez challenged for the WBA title
And Gomez held a WBA title
Re: name the great that made him great...
ESPN – Roberto Duran 6 p4p all time
Panel from the associated boxing press Roberto Duran – number 7 p4p all time
BBC writers poll – Roberto Duran number 3 p4p all time
IBRO is an esteemed group of analysts who are well researched in the history of boxing. The IBRO membership had 30 historians participating in the poll they had Roberto Duran number 7 p4p alltime
The Sun online poll – Roberto Duran number 9 p4p all time
Just a few I picked out - but you won't find any respected poll that doesn't include him.
Maybe JonesMyweather knows more than 99% of the rest of the boxing world :-\

7th ;)
Re: name the great that made him great...
Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pepp, Roberto Duran, Julio Cesar Chavez, Benny Leonard, Jimmy Wilde, Roy Jones Jnr, Harry Greb, Pernell Whitaker - all these guys have a claim
Re: name the great that made him great...
Chavez is interesting one because even though his opposition wern't always the best he ruled a long time having a awesome record would he get into top 10 ??

You could make a case for Hopkins,record holder for title defenses,unified the belts,and was able to move up to beat Tarver at 40
