He doesn't get props from half the guys here, including you, who seem to think the guy's career began in 1979 and know nothing about his career or...
EXACTLY! To some guy with with "Jesus" in his name! That's blasphemy! THE SLY ONE HAS SPOKEN!!!!
Duran was consistent enough to be 72-1 over a 13 year span :scratcher:

Irrelevant, though :scratcher:
Reid stumbled around like a drunk against Trinidad, he got killed ... That he heard the final bell was a small miracle
This is entirely nonsensical... Your "context" ignores quality of opposition, rendering it worthless
The best fighter of the 70s was Roberto Duran ... His relevance in the 80s is just gravy
Point is that your (absurd) critique of Duran as a fighter is ALWAYS related to the rest of the "fab four" and seems to ignore willfully that he...
No it isn't ... Age is completely relative ... The trajectory of a fighter's career is affected by numerous things that can sometimes be related...
Whitaker was a past-prime drug addict when he struggled with Hurtado and totally gone when he fought Trinidad... Piss poor examples, as always...
Duran had 72 professional fights before he fought Leonard at the age of 29... How would Floyd look right now if he had fought 72 times by the age...
Yeah, Reid had that LaMotta-like chin
Close fight, I think in my mind
Who did it knock out exactly? The puncher in this matchup is Breland, not Reid
Duran would absolutely duplicate Mayweather's feat
Seriously, Whitaker would embarrass that guy
Japan could've had gold back in the day if they could have used Piston Honda
Love her stuff with Marvin Gaye... She was such a cutie, poor thing
I must've missed David Tua "counterpunching" Ruiz
Canelo is a shitty fighter, man
Floyd's one of the few great fighters in a very poor transition period for the sport (at least north of say, Featherweight)... It is an indictment...
He's damned close, man I agree, though, it's pretty much a wasteland, he could legit beat a lot of these dudes
what right hand? The one that won him a gold medal and gave him a mere 50% KO rate against awful opponents in the lead up to being mangled by...
Yes Haye is crap and by and large a leap amateur but he is way bigger than Dempsey and way faster... Dempsey's style, while clearly the blueprint...
Johnson could be accused of lacking fire but his skills are far advanced compared to the leap-amateurism of Stevenson... If he can deal with his...
LOL Floyd would likely endure some headbutts and would have to deal with Watt's persistent southpaw jab, but ultimately his speed and his great...
Czyz had better craft but this comes down to who is rougher and tougher... That'd be Harding, IMO
Canelo is the shittiest boxing superstar since the days when Benny Leonard and Jack Dempsey first taught people how to fight semi-poperly but I...
Agree... perfect blend of styles, the busy and quick Johnson against the quasi-sharpshooter in Haugen ... Apples and Oranges for anyone scoring...
