I agree. His balance is perfect. He throws punches from different angles but his footwork is so good he's never off balance. It's hard. I boxed for a while, and the footwork and balance is difficult. Then there is subtle head movements to avoid punches and he's bent a the waist just enough, his hands held perfectly....he has turned a the violent act of fighting into something almost beautiful.

Duran was the Master...the greatest lighweight of all time...

@LOVEMPIRE666 Yea, he had HIV before he went jail. He got it from his brother. His brother died of aids and Esteban was worried cause he was all sick and messed up in jail, he got checked out and he had full blown aids.

@june1683 Yes my friend - Salvador Sanchez, I almost forgot about him. WOW is the word. So GREAT! Better at his trade than most anyone ever was at any trade. I still give it to Duran for #1 as he weathered it all like the true Champion he is at weight classes a lightweight should normally never be seen at. How about going up to 165 to not only fight middleweight but to really legitimately almost beat a game Marvin Hagler in his prime. Simply awesome. The hispanic guys like Sanchez and Duran -WOW

Duran - THE #1 GREATEST boxer of all time !!!!! An artist, an absolute ROCK, and a poet on two feet !

[june1683]

so good. I have been watching boxing for 40 years and have him rated

second pound for pound only behind Salvador Sanchez.

If Duran were in tip top shape, he would likely beach Sanchez but in a

best of 3 or 5, I give Sanchez the edge. As far as the rest of the great fighters

of the era, the 135 lb version of Duran would have stopped any of them with perhaps Mayweather the only one going the distance

Duran and Roy Jones were the two really superior prize fighters of our age. Of the two Duran is the one you'd want to study; Roy Jones' game depended a bit too much on physical gifts nobody else is likely to have.

@Bigbootylover42 Dang, I forgot the thumbless glove bs, good memory! lol...Leonard was a great boxer, when he wasn't running around that is. But it's hard to have much respect for him because he was such a prima donna pretty boy. Duran haters I can't respect either, just knowing where he came from and to where he went, is like a real life fairy tale, it just doesn't happen. But all the haters can only talk about 1 fight, yet they don't remember that it was Leonard who didn't fight that night,

[tellthetruthg]

makes you wonder how many of todays fighters could go 15. If the first SRL jvs hearns fight wasn't 15 Hearns wins . Love the term Championship rounds you don't here that any more

@rickyp4ever , Thank you rickyp4ever it seems clearly to me that you know about boxing especially when it comes to Roberto Duran. Nobody has been able to equate his performance in the lightwight division since he relinquished the lightweight title in 1979. Roberto Duran only lost one fight from March 1967 to June 1980 and that loss was to the great Esteban De Jesus !What a record!

[rickyp4ever]

@Bigbootylover42 Very well explained!!!!

It's been stated that  Dejesus contracted AIDS while doing drugs in prison after killing a 17 teen year old in a traffic dispute.
