I understand that in most polls Duran is rated higher than Leonard as an all time great. But why? I loved Duran. He is the number two greatest lightweight of all time (in my opinion) ..just behind (in a close one) to the great Henry Armstrong (who I believe would have outpointed Duran in a fight). I agree that Duran was one of the toughest fighters ever. But Leonard dominated him in their second meeting. Please do not say that Leonard clowned the entire fight. Actually, only in round 7 did he show off. And in their first fight, Leonard almost beat Duran at his own game. Leonard knocked out Hearns. Hearns destroyed Duran. Leonard beat Hagler (ok, I thought Hagler had retained his crown). But Duran surely did not beat Hagler (even though he fought very well against the marvelous one). Leonard won the welterweight,mid
