Here's one for all you old-time fight afficianados. A freind who's sort of into, but not really all that into, boxing was recently asking me who the greatest all-time lightweight fighter was. My gut reaction--having grown up watching the guy--was to say Duran. Thinking it over though, I've read so much about Benny, though only ever seeing highlights of a few of his fights, that I'm curious what some of you who may have acess to more of his fights (or having read more extensively) think of Leonard's place among all-time lightweights.
Of course, I'm also interesting in hearing who you may think is the best ever, if not one of these two...if there's one thing I've learned on this forum, it'sthat there'll ALWAYS be a few dissenting opinions
