    Some of you are questioning why I rated Duran over Hagler and Hearns.

    Keep in mind that lightweight was his prime weight division and he moved up to beat a young Leonard even when he was past his best.. Hagler couldnt even beat Leonard who was coming off of a long layoff..

    Sure he lost to Hearns but that was more of a style thing and he still beat a prime Leonard who beat the man but more importantly, he moved up again to beat Iran Barkley who had knocked out Hearns in the previous bout.. Lastly, Duran went 15 rounds with Hagler and fought well enough to a point where some fans questioned the verdict.. Hearns got KTFO early by Hagler..

    It's criminal to rate Hagler and Hearns over Roberto Duran..

    That particular era: Hagler >>>> Duran

    All Time: Duran >>>> Hagler

    Imo, Duran took a legacy hit fighting in that era, whether "No Mas" had ever happened or not.

    Duran beat Leonard once but lost the second time and third time. He also lost to Benitez, Hagler and Hearns. 1 - 5.

    Leonard beat Duran two out of three times, beat Hearns once and drew the other and beat Benitez and Hagler. 5 - 1- 1

    Hearns lost to Leonard once and drew the second time, lost to Hagler, but beat Duran and Benitez. 2 - 1 - 1

    Hagler beat Duran and Hearns, but lost to Leonard. 2 -1

    You guys like to shit on Leonard, but he fought all of them and won all but one- one in which he avenged.

    In my ranking:
    Leonard
    Hagler (only because I feel he would have beaten Benitez, or else I would have put Hearns ahead)
    Hearns (if he had won a rematch vs. Hagler and won the rematch vs. Leonard, he could have come first)
    Benitez
    Duran
    This is why they coined p4p title.
    Duran was the lightest, oldest and the meanest. In his prime, see Leonard fight, p4p, he would skin them all.
    He was as tough as Hagler, but much smarter as a boxers,
    He was slick and quick almost like Leonard, but much tougher
    He would destroy Hearns in the same fashion Hagler did and out-punch Benitez like Leonard.

    Duran was a God of Boxing War, who became flesh because of his obsession with donuts and bacon.
