Also remember that Duran lost to Benitez and Lang.
Benitez was a master technician, and was a great defensive fighter, so it's not much different from Marquez whooping Pacquiao's assQuote:

Duran flat out quit!
Duran flat out quit!
He probably couldn't stand being so upstaged and humiliated by a former boxing victim, Sugar Ray Leonard... so perplexed at the unfavorable sequencing of events unfolding before his eyes, his next move was unfathomable! He packed up to go to the bathroom, or so he says so as his purpose. Hehehe! Booty call!
This act shows a considerable disregard that he has for the fans and for boxing conventions.
I guess if you have to go... YOU HAVE TO GO! Maybe planning ahead so as not to “GO” in the middle of a fight is stuff for strong strategy…
Duran opened a crack for misgivings to occupy an entry in his resume for this bitch move. This one, undoubtedly, Roberto Duran wants badly back.
Too bad, legend as he was during his time in the ring, I see an impropriety in aligning Roberto Duran's name among the names of all time great fighters who do not have "QUIT" in them! Just my opinion.
I am a fan of Duran but just pointing out he was inconsistent and speed was his vulnerability at the higher weights.Quote:
