A padded record I'll agree with, but when your talking about all those losses, a lot of those were were cause Duran carried on too long. His losses to Camacho, Joppy, Camacho again for example were when he was 50, 47 and 45 respectively. Noone is judging Roberto on these fights, its the ones in his prime that mattered. Ali lost to a lot of guys in the end, but that doesnt diminish his stature as top ten all time.

P.S. I only brought up these fights as there the only ones I can be sure are in your "good fighters" list. If I knew exactly who you were referring to I'm sure many would be for the same reason, well enough to cut the losses down to a respectable level.

Roberto Duran will always be an all time great in mine and many other eyes. The thing that caught me with your comments was that it implied Floyd is already better than him, Hearns (youve withdrawn) and Chavez already. Floyd just hasnt acheived the same as these fighters, although it is obvious that so far his record is a lot less padded and as a reult of this he has a very good chance to EVENTUALLY eclipse all three.
