Then answer my question.... How does Duran's performance and quitting in the rematch effect your rating of him?

For a long time back in that era, Duran was one of my all-time favorites.

But when he pulled the No Mas thing, it was all over.

Doesn't erase the awesome fighter Duran was that night in Montreal, but I lost interest in him after that.

And Arcel apparently couldn't deal with the No Mas ending. IIRC, he pretty much left the fight game after that.
