I remember i used to question Roberto Duran at one point, but boy was i wrong when i watched more of his fights. He was an excellent boxer/puncher, and probably had one of the best defense's for an aggressive fighter. He really had a slippery defense.
He also has some underrated wins at Lightweight and below Lightweight amazingly, he beat a very good boxer in Vilomar Fernandez who gave a prime Alexis Arguello, a boxing lesson pretty much. He also beat Ernesto Marcel at Featherweight i believe who also beat Alexis Arguello aswell.
And despite all that i think the fact that he lost at the higher weightclasses, and kept coming back when you thought he was a finished fighter actually adds to his greatness IMO.
And remember he started at 119 not far from Manny Pacquiao's orignal weightclass, and he managed to win a title at Middleweight and be competitive at the higher weightclasses, truly incredible IMO.
