What a fucking fight
For Duran-a prime lightweight-to move all the way up to middleweight and go to fucking war with a savage like Barkley and come out on top is incredible
My god some of those shots Duran tookâŚjust unreal
People forget how many heavy short shots Michael cro cop took on the ground before teh stand up and kick.
Yeah, he was, IMO, the greatest lightweight to ever step into a ring.

Same here, bro.
Sugar Ray vs Gene Fulmer. This six inch punch while backing up is up there too
lol Floppy. Special B. I kind of like that, good one. Finally someone w some humor on here
I have Duran as my LW goat as wellâŚjust canât see anyone beating him at that weight especially in a 15 round fight
Oddly enough I have âone-offâ picks to give Duran the most issues (although I think he still wins). Whitaker and Armstrong.

Armstrong was just an incredible fighter. Perpetually in motion.
He simultaneously held 3 world titles when they only had 8 and he went to a draw vs mw champion Ceferino Garcia in a fight many believed he won

There are a few reasons why I think Armstrong would give Duran a great fight. He was very durable. He was KOâd in his debut and then didnât lose to stoppage again for the rest of his career with one exception (TKO). That is a guy fighting across what would be 7 divisions getting stopped cold once in 174 fights. He was extremely active when he fought and he had a great gas tank. Obviously he is an all time great but the durability and the ability to always press makes me love the dream of these two fighting.
