17 years after winning the lightweight title Duran beat the shit out of Iran Barkley, heavily flooring him, for the WBC middleweight title. Ring Magazine fight of the year.
If Duran was able to KO "world" champions above the welterweight limit why couldn't he KO a welterweight?
Floyd not only had a rough time with Maidana, first time out - reason for the rematch - but was briefly knocked stiff in the second encounter.
Anyone that thinks Floyd is "greater" than Duran better have some fucking slick argument. Fact.
