Fighters who have had far more success moving up through the divisions. Who's the biggest name Duran has a +record against? Iknow Duran is good, but he aint that good. IMHO
Luckly I've delt with someone like you before who questioned Durans P4P status. (Not that theres anything wrong with questioning)
But people don't look at the big picture...

A boxers greatness is not measured by 1 or 2 or 3 things. It's a mixture of a handful of things. Durans great because he fought through adversity because he beat all time greats. Because he fought the best of his era, the next era and the next era. Because when he has listed as the underdog he came out on top, because when they said he was done he won. Because his skills were amazing because he could adapt to any style in the ring.

Here's a post that should put things into light a bit more for you as far as Durans career.

Roberto i know your on about me but i watched most of the fights you mentioned, and i also learnt alot more about him. And i do no longer question him. Im not sure if you have seen this thread i made after that debate we had along time ago.

But here it is.

And as for the thread i would have to say Marvin Hagler, i thought he got a draw against SRL. And he really should have only 1 loss IMO, and even though SRL may of had better single wins.

Marvin Hagler gets the number 1 spot IMO, because he was more consistent. Where as SRL retired alot and wern't as consistent, after his best win against Thomas Hearns. He only had 8 fights in 16 years.

1 Marvin Hagler
2 Sugar Ray Leonard
3 Thomas Hearns
4 Roberto Duran
IS that your all time p4p ranking of the four ICB, or just a comparison of the time when they fought each other?
