By the way he was hanging out with poor people and paying for everything in an upscale bar/restaurant. Great person god bless Duran and his family

Hastein45 I think Duran deserves to be placed in the top 5 because he pretty much spent his 20's as the lightweight lion. Then after 70 fights he keeps up going in weight and winning titles in 3 more weight divisions. And remember that he was not in his prime anymore while he was defeating younger, bigger guys. I think its pretty safe to say that Duran is the greatest lightweight of all time. He destroyed every opponent as a lightweight like no other lightweight has done it before.

( I was in 11th grade bought the tickets w/$ earned at King Kullen ). Greatest night of my early life. All these famous people were no closer to the fight than we were, Frank Sinatra, Vicky LaMotta, David Brenner, Donald & Bruce Curry, Vito Antuofermo...Ali walked right past us...saw Gerry Cooney on the LIRR going back home. The whole crowd seemed to be for Duran. I remember Billy Hatcher on the undercard and Panama Lewis getting banned for taking padding out of his guy's glove...but all the details escape me.

Boxing has an element to it that no other sport has - it has the people behind you. When Duran stepped into the ring you thought about the streets of Panama, when JCC fought he had the weight of his country on his shoulders. When Tom Brady gets inside the lines, do we think about Northern California (where he is from)? No, we think about the "franchise", we think about the organization. Boxing is about the people at the most basic level. Hopefully one day it regains its foothold in the world of sports, because I really miss it.

No real man finally admits to Buchanan 20 years later with buckets of tears- yeah he hurt him bad. A real man tells the world/ His face is so crazed after the nasty he is a crazed animal- aka stimulant imo. The next day they all saw the blow that required surgery but the ref would not change his opinion It was all decided it was time to get rid of the hall of fame ken buchanan, who was never knocked out in his career and replace with a Panamanian- yes- racism because of $$, I think the best thing would have been since fight one if Duran would have been tested for steroids and stimulants. In the KB fight he screamed at the champion when he wouldn't drop. After the cheatin blow KB would have been in Duran's quarter making certain he was ok- not duran- he had a predator's look of pleasure.

Roberto has nobody to blame but himself for "No mas." Quitter? Well he did quit. Period. But I subscribe to Randy Gordon's interpretation of that night more than any other theory. However "No Mas" should not define what he was in the sport of boxing. His rise back to the top in defeating Barkley showed the world the desire, pride and fury that lay beneath the exterior of Robert. Of course as if his performance in Montreal hadn't done that. Roberto is the only man to defeat a prime and physically peak SRL. The only man who was able to dent the aura of confidence that surrounded Sugar at the time. Duran beat him mentally before the fight and beat him in the ring. No other fighter did that to SRL. The sport misses Roberto. We do.

I used to work in a copy center a few blocks from Duran’s house and one of my co-workers, a pretty girl, just found him in the street and greeted him. She told him she was having a birthday that day and he gave him a 20 dollar bill. Just like that. God bless him.

You can see sadness in Duran's eyes, you can tell he's so disenchanted about what happened. SRL didn't act like a champion does, he has that stain. Duran was so frustrated that he quit, he has that stain too. I'm sure the only winner was Don King. Still, their greatness will survive.
