Is he to judged for this forever? Is this how we remember him? If so then Boxing is indeed a cruel game.

No he shouldn't. He's an all time great and arguably the best lightweight that ever lived or at least standing beside a guy named Benny. The other Leonard admitted that they knew he was having weight issues in between fights and what they did by getting a rematch actually 5 months later was keep Duran in a depleted condition. I think that physical strain effected Duran mentally.
