Because he was such a devastating puncher...many things about Duran often get overlooked. As people have mentioned...his defense was underrated...especially considering what a tremendous offense he had. His overall skill and fluidity where also sometimes overlooked because he seemed to like to "brawl" so much. And finally...the guy was just a flat out amazing athlete (check out some of his jump roping and speed bag vids from back in the day). Add to that his huge personality...just a LEGENDARY fighter.
