...pretty obvious why he's a great
I agree but still wouldn't have him top 5 he lost the biggest fights of his career his biggest win was against Leonard but he lost the trilogy and he lost to Hearns Hagler Benitez and come on Joppy ?? Duran was grandfather by that time and Joppys name shouldn't be mentioned on Durans resume because he was never that good anyway and i will cross through the list on the ones he lost then have a look for yourself i respect Duran but imo he isn't top 5 of all time and now have a look at the list and see how many he won out of the list he fought great opp but fighting great opp doesn't make you automatic top 5 of all time if you didn't win against most important names like Benitez Hearns Hagler ect.
