Interesting choice of fights there Shep. There is a rarely discussed story behind the "no mas" fight. Duran had put on an enormous amount of weight after he beat Leonard in the first fight. Some reports had him in the 200 pound range. Leonard's camp got the news and bargained hard for a quick rematch. When Duran's handlers took the bait he was forced to drop at least 30 pounds in a matter of months. He was a sick man at the time of the fight. They were both great champions but that fight was more about greed and poor management than skill.
