    A top 5 imo. I've seen his stuff at lightweight and all his pre-Leonard rematch at welterweight and he was that great.

    He could box, he could brawl, counter punch, and he could blend offense with defense in a way that I haven't seen any other guy do. Usually when a guy is on defense he's not attacking. Duran would attack and simultaneously defend. Uncanny.

    Defnitely the greatest lightweight of all time. I think its fair to put him in the top 5 of all time.

    The man is over-rated. Have I mentioned that recently? :lol:

    I don't see how you can call the best fighter ever overrated, it makes no sense.

    It's like saying Jones's speed was overrated or Tyson's power.

    Even the best fighter ever can be over-rated.

    It makes it easier in this case, mind, that Duran isn't the best fighter ever (or even the best LW ever IMO, though I concede he is a legitimate choice).

    Outside of Whitaker, I dont see anyway someone could think that there is a fighter with a stronger case for best lightweight ever than Roberto Duran
