Roberto duran...name the fighter that he beat that propelled him into greatness...

There's a lot more to greatness than that mate

I assume you are questioning his greatness based on his opposition?

[ICB]

Beating Sugar Ray Leonard has got to be.

Because Ken Buchanan was controversial that wouldn't of made him great

Neither did De Jesus.

[DarkDestroyer]

When he beat Barkley it made him more of a legend but Iran was never a gret boxer.
One hellofa fighter do

[Scrap]

From his first win to his last, from his first loss to his last Duran was amazing. Anybody with an eye surely saw that.

[Wacko3205]

If we can discuss other fighters & not just Duran...how about Floyd Mayweather jr?

Rule of thumb says it was TKOing Genaro Hernandez for the WBC's Super Feather belt.

My opinion?

Wacko says the Corrales win showed Floyd's true form. I say that was when his greatness came into play...not just the Oscar win...as many are now saying made him great.

Anyone?

[DarkDestroyer]

I don't consider Floyd grat just yet.
He has awesome potentional but hasn't captured the publics imagination

[Trainer Monkey]

Sparring with Rocky Balboa
Seriously the 2 DeJesus wins,or Hector Thompson
Beating Leanard made him a well known great in the States though

so who did Dejesus and thompson beat that made them great?

[JonesJrMayweather]

Beating Sugar Ray Leonard has got to be.

So then oliver mccall must be great? but then you might not consider Lennox to be great...
So then is montell griffith great because he beat toney twice?

Roberto duran...name the fighter that he beat that propelled him into greatness...

you assume correctly because i personally think he's way too high on the all time list and he beat up a bunch of bums and padded his record....

[Trainer Monkey]

DeJesus-Duran himself,Garcia,Gomez,Marquez
Thompson-Santos,White,Tetteh,though Thompson stuck around WAY to long
Sort of like Duran,except with alot more losses

What you are showing is complete ignorance and proving that your knowledge of him is based on a piece of paper with his opponents written on!

Honestly mate for any boxing fan to say that about Duran is madness. You won't find many boxing experts (and I mean the real experts) that don't have Duran top 5 p4p of all time.

are you talking about josue? because there's no way in hell beating him would make any one great..

and garcia? fighting a lot of fights doesn't make him great esp when his resume is a virtual who's who's of nobody's

and gomez? please!!!!!!

So I ask again who was it that made duran great? because he just a has a padded record and a win over SRL...

other than ray no one else he beat is considered great so how is it that he's considered great?
