Jones vs Ruiz? What an odd choice

That wasn't even the 20th most exciting fight of that 1 year, let alone the decade.

Just always wanted to see Jones live. seeing Jones’ last great performance appealed to me.

elmer. Can I ask you a polite and genuine question.......

Do you think that you are 100% neutral in your view of Roberto Duran? Or, Because pretty much everyone on the forum thinks you are biased, you must be?

I know I'm biased towards Stanley Ketchel, it's alright to admit it.

I am not biased. I called it like I see it. In Eastern Boxing Forum, there's a post about the subject. You could check it out. There are divided opinions about the subject in about which win between Duran and Leonard's was better.

So the ones that said that Duran's win was better were wrong too? Go and check the post. You might learn something.

But would you agree on these two points..........

1. Duran is your favorite fighter of all time.
2. A lot of of posters think you overrate him,.

True?
