But i always got the feeling that after a certain point in time that roberto started caring less and less for his legacy and more so for doing what he does..Fight..To put food on the table..
Props to the guy he fought far past his prime because he's a born fighter and thats what he knows..
And he still got some big wins way past his prime...
In my honest opinion i think by the time duran fought hagler and hearns...
He was both slighly past his best..And way out of his depth bieng a great lightweight fighting at middleweight... Bit of a de la hoya job.. He wasnt shot ..Just a bit far..
And he was far past his best when he fought the third leonard fight 9 years after they first two...
But he was still winning world titles at light middle...
And he managed to beat a great fighter in iran barkley the fight before leonard...
Truely a great bloke...But he probably took alot of years of his prime with his actions outside of the ring...
