Sugar Ray Robinson nearly fought to the death against against Joey Maxim. I don't know what the hell Duran was thinking when he quit.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Wonder if they will put in the film the bit at the weigh-in for the first Leonard-v-Duran fight where Duran tells Leonards wife hes going to screw her after as shes a puta/whore??...first fight Duran really got in Leonards head and Leonard fought Durans fight and got beat up on the ropes...but like all good champs Leonard learnt from his mistakes to come back to win off a loss...i think Duran quit not because he couldnt hack it but because Leonard wouldnt fight as he saw it like a man...Leonard humiliated him show boating and clowning around picking him off at distance...Leonard was also pretty smart to take the rematch so quick within 5mnths as Duran was well known to blow up in weight and party on a victory...he didnt look in great shape for their 2nd fight...Hagler showed how to beat Duran with class imo...take centre of the ring and out jab/box him...as said above shame the no mas thing stained Durans legacy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
