Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[LauderdaleBoss]

Yeah I offer theories but thing is duran mauled damn near everyone. Even Leonard couldn't get away from duran. He's probably the greatest inside fighter of all time.

Facts.....
You can have all the answers, but they don't always work like we expect them to. Dude was a savage on the inside. He moved his head so good, that some of those counter openings weren't presented multiple times where cats can get used to the timing or patterns he using. He was so frantic. One of the hardest things to do is fight someone off of you and still win the boxing match in the fight. Duran made you fight, but he also had the skills to outbox you too. Truly a nightmare match up for most boxers.

I guess one of the few fighters Duran was never able to maul was Tommy Hearns. Too much power and size disadvantage.

I tell anyone who doesn't believe that to watch the hagler match. Man's rhythm was hard to time. And his hands were pretty damn quick too. There is a reason he is some personal people's GOAT. Makes what Wilfredo benitez did all the more impressive

Yeah and he carried that power tp cruiserweight. That was a bad man

THE GOAT Boxing game

Now You're trolling.
Goat boxing game is fight night champion, followed by fight night round 3 and knock out kings 2001,easily too

Would you say he was chinny or just gave no fukks and went for broke when the time called for it.. paying the price by getting stopped ?

 

[LeVraiPapi]

one of the things roberto duran used to do to lot of fighters when he was in his physical peak was measure you with the jab to gauge the distance, and close that distance behind the right hand, then to crash into your chest. if he hit you, if he missed you, the result would be the same: you ended up with duran on top of you mauling you on the inside.

what would you do to stop this?

He was wide open for a pull counter.

I would most likely pull a Canelo by leaning back on the back foot and upper cut him and finish with a snap jab to the body.

What you think ?

More than that, after when he crashes and grabs, you can Sugar Ray Robinson his body and come up with the left hook to match.

Good, Jacobs went up to 168 though so where that one would take place?
Hear an interview where he said he's open to an offer for an Andrade fight too.

That all sounds good, he better not sleep on Hogan though.

Remove canelo from that list..175 is a live division that doesn't need to be sullied by his inclusion...outside of that easily better than the "marquee" division in boxing by leaps and bounds

Your hate for Canelo and the 147 is consistent

I just added him cause officially he will be a part of it now too even if he's not true 175er. Stacked af either way.
