    Duran/Leonard 1 is one of my Top 10 all-time favorites --- I read Roberto ate gallons and gallons of ice cream for months, partying after beating Leonard....

    I remember Duran giving an interview one time to Howard Cosell, and he was asked why he had gained so much weight so quickly, and he gave a big smile and I remember he said:

    "Ice cream! I love ice cream!!"

    Hahaha

    I can understand when some say Duran was old (in ring) years. I think going the distance with Marvelous Marvin proved he still had a lot left.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Duran is a superhuman who would still be fighting now if he did not have that car accident. He just kept on pulling out performances way past his best weight which was lightweight. How could he beat Leonard, go the distance with Hagler, beat Davey Moore, Barkley, and keep fighting until 50?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
