    Imo,…his greatest performance.

    so much smaller.
    Over his best weight by 2 divisions.

    and it wasn’t like Moore didn’t land countless punches that woulda KO’d most others.

    Duran literally tortured him.

    Duran would have butchered the Trinidad that fought David Reid

    I don't know about that, and I'm the forum's biggest Duran fan.

    Trinidad-Duran is a close call at 154, assuming Duran is in Moore forum. Could make a case for either, but to say Duran "butchers" Tito at junior middle is selling Trinidad short. It'd be a back and forth fight.

    Duran decisively beats Trinidad at 147 though.

    Duran beats Trinidad at 147, but I think Tito could get him at 154.

    This Duran would whip Oscar’s ass at 147 and 154 IMO.

    Imagine, Oscar trying that shoulder roll shit against Duran’s right hand. LMAO!!!

    He’d get scorched.

    Thomas Hearns would still beat that Duran. Just a stylistic nightmare for him.

    Any SUBSTANCE to the Popular (LEGIT) 80's Group, "Duran Duran", Naming Themselves After 'Manos de Piedras" ???

    The band are big basketballs fans. In an interview they said if they were formed today they would have called themselves Durant Durant.

    The group Sugar Ray named itself after Leonard.

    I highly doubt Duran Duran had anything to do with Roberto.

    Duran Duran if I remember correctly were named after someone in a book or a film. Nothing to do with the boxer.

    Yeah i actually looked it up a long time ago. I think it was a character named "Durand Durand". I guess i could have googled it again, but then i would have to do that and post the finding here.

    No. They named themselves after something from the film, Barbarella. It may have been the name of the main character's dildo.

    I had a bit of a mix up. The first part is correct. They were named after the character "Durand Durand" from the film, Barbarella.

    It was Steely Dan that was named after a sex toy in the book, Naked Lunch.
