Best lightweight ever, and one of the toughest fighters ever, would fight anyone! Moved up to Middlweight to fight Hagler when not even Leonard or Hearns would!!!
Hearns had a great right hand. But my argument would be Hearns's power wasn't the same when he moved up in weight. Duran was still knocking out the best when he moved up. Plus technique wise, his right is unmatched. Maybe's trinidad's right is up there with his.
In a fight like this one, should the boxer die or be badly hurt, his family ought to be due compensation payable by the referee, who furthermore has to be imprisoned for professional incompetence. The muppet in here should have stopped it in the 10th, that was a very long count on the second knockdown. He definitely should have stopped it in the 14th, with Bizzaro on queer street, and the fact that the fighter was unconscious in the ring after getting up proves that.
You see the problems Duran has with a guy that moves and can box... I thought Bizzaro was doing a fine job of boxing... and he's not even as talented as Duran, Leonard, Hearns, and other fighers that came later.
However, the movement and jab were giving Duran problems... Leonard presented a better, talented version of what Bizzarro was attempting.
Wow, Duran looks impossibly proud, frightening and fearsome but as a criticism of him he became discomposed. Anyway as soon as Bizzaro slowed down and Duran had him in front of him it was a terrible massacre. Bizzaro looks dead on the canvas.
Duran just had the look of a fighter! even in old age there was still a mystique & fear he would instill. Even Joppy said he avoided all eye contact with the over the hill Roberto during the ref's instructions.
Oh My God! that was a heinous beating! Now that was the real Roberto Duran! this Duran was the greatest most accomplished lightweight in the history of the sport. So great in fact that he could of even jumped to 147 and give any of the all time greats in that division a run for their money.

Was Duran knocked down in the fourth round? It looked like Lou caught him with a straight right in the middle of a Duran uppercut.

Not too many fighters get that kind of power in their punches, like Duran did as a lightweight. Those shots look awesome, from both hands.
