Sugar Ray Leonard VS Roberto Duran(P4P All Time Great)

[GJC]

Duran. Utterly dominant at Lightweight.

That what tips it to Duran for me. Both are top 20 p4p though.
As impressive as skipping up weights (which both did) is I think a dominant reign at a weight is important too. I will concede that Leonard was unlucky and might well have dominated at welter between 82 and 87

Duran.

The only reason why he lost the rematch with SRL was because he was fat, out of shape, and got lazy in between fights.

1. SRR
2. Ali
3. SRL

Only Ali and SRR rank higher than him ATG wise.

I lean towards Duran but I believe if Leonard was not sidelined with eye injuries he could have reached a higher ranking.

[mrboxer]

Who would you rank higher as an All Time Great(P4P)between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran?
Thanks.

ray leonard is an all time great but duran in my opinion is not,duran won the title against ken with a below the belt shot,duran beat leonard with a controversial decision that leonard had clearly won,in the second fight duran quit against leonard with the famous no mas quote,he got schooled against benitez,he got pummeled against hearns,and got out punched against hagler,i will give him credit for beating moore and the clumsy barkley for titles,duran was a good fighter not an all time great

Duran because of his insane dominance at lightweight.

You serious ?, Leonard - Duran I was not controversial at all, Duran won it and you're dismissing Duran's reign at Lightweight because he low blowed Buchanan ?.

Indeed, never seen someone say that Duran isn't an ATG and just dismiss his reign.

Take your ridiculous,ignorant views back to the hip hop forums with the rest of your kind.There really is nothing more embarrassing than reading some clueless newb attempting to offer his own argument in a topic that he has absolutely no idea about.



Your post count may go up,but your own understanding of this sport and it's history only diminishes in the eyes of those who actually know what the **** they're talking about.



Stick to "Money May" and "DA PACMAN" in future,and leave such discussions to the true fans of this sport.

To question if Duran is a ATG is laughable. Duran started as a superbantam and if he fought today would have collected paper titles in the lower divisions. He beat Marcel by TKO who later would be Featherweight champion. In his 8th division he fought hagler to a 15 round decision that two judges seperated by one point. Important to note, he is the only man to even remain standing in the 12 title defenses of Hagler; as hagler knocked every man out in 12 title defenses except Duran.

If you go by influence, there is a generation of fighters that name Duran as their influence. I don't put him top 10 P4P, but around 20, and SRL slighty higher. As BennyST, mentioned the thread is arleady discussed at length before.
