I'm no hardcore Duran fan, but I can appreciate greatness when I see it. Fenster's right about being able to criticize the Leonard "no mas" without putting the Lawlor fight in the same context. How do you categorize a fighter as a quitter when he's had a long and storied career full of wars against some elite opposition? How does a quitter pull out a hard-fought Iran Barkley fight? How does a quitter amass victories over such warriors as Carlos Palomino, Esteban de Jesus, Pipino Cuevas, Sugar Ray Leonard, etc.?

I saw the Lawlor fight. It was a sudden, debilitating arm injury which made Duran immediately wince in obvious pain. It was the doctor who stopped the fight, prompting an immediate protest from Duran.

"Quitting" is thrown around so carelessly here.
It's obvious very few of us here have ever laced up boxing gloves.
