Roberto Duran (from Leonard 1) vs Thomas Hearns - Welterweight
Posted: 26 Jan 2023, 13:40
Let's just see how this goes 
As much as I love Roberto Duran I have to concur with this because some men just have your number no matter what. As great as Willie Pep was for example he could do virtually nothing against Sandy Saddler. As great as Sam Langford was he could do virtually nothing against Harry Wills. As great as Joe Frazier was he could do virtually nothing against George Foreman.gilgamesh wrote: ↑26 Jan 2023, 14:47 My pick is Hearns was all wrong for Duran. Duran is almost never able to get inside, and if he is he isn't able to stay there. Basically instead of getting pancaked in 2 rounds like he did at 154 I think he'd have been good enough to survive to about 5 or 6, but Tommy Hearns is a nightmare matchup for him, and knocks him out almost always.
I think Duran would do well to win a round.
I agree with both of you. If Hearns fought Duran 100 times. Hearns wins 99 of them.HomicideHenry wrote: ↑26 Jan 2023, 20:01As much as I love Roberto Duran I have to concur with this because some men just have your number no matter what.

That being said I think it goes without saying that Roberto Duran had the far greater career or far greater resume than Tommy Hearns. He just simply couldn't beat Tommy Hearns because Tommy Hearns, in part, was practically a giant in those weight classes.

Thomas Hearns wins from 154lbs and above.
From 147lbs and below, is all Roberto Duran!
I try not to ever let ridiculously biased superfans affect my perception of somebody. Duran is one of my all time favorites, and I respect the sh*t out of him. But admittedly this thread was made primarily just to f*ck with Elmer a littletiny_acres wrote: ↑26 Jan 2023, 21:38I agree with both of you. If Hearns fought Duran 100 times.

He is just all wrong for Duran and I am a huge fan.

He insulted me, first, bro! Why don't you be righteous in judgment? You see how this pussy starts with his shiit again. Talk about boxing. Talk about boxing. No insults. Why he can't do that. And why you are not being righteous in judgment?gilgamesh wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 15:16Find a new way to insult people, and find it fast.elmersalsa wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 08:01Talk about boxing, homosexual scumbag.

I have no idea what the f*ck you're talking about.elmersalsa wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:16He insulted me, first, bro! Why don't you be righteous in judgment? You see how this pussy starts with his shiit again. Talk about boxing. Talk about boxing. No insults. Why he can't do that. And why you are not being righteous in judgment?
No, it seems to me that you like them to insult me, but when I fire back, I am wrong. Why are you this wicked in judgment. Ain't you gotta be right?gilgamesh wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:22I have no idea what the f*ck you're talking about.elmersalsa wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:16He insulted me, first, bro!

If you got an issue with someone and MUSt insult 'em Call him an asshole then. Call him a dickhead. Call him a jerkass. Call him a piece of sh*t.
That's 4 suggestions for you.
Just stay away from the previous insult alright? In South America it's probably still fine, in North America it's not. Ok?
I ain't chaging words, shiit! You're saying that it hurting his feelings? Well, it seems to me that you are at his side. You're not being honest nor true in judging. You saw that he started calling me names. You saw that he drew a pic of a dick. What grown man does that? Tell me. What grown man does that?gilgamesh wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:35 Well look. I don't have to prove to you what I mean.
I mean what I say, and I say what I mean. That's all you need to know. You wanna call him a pussy? You wanna call him a punkass? You wanna call him a bitchboy? You wanna call him a douchebag? Knock yourself out. Won't hurt my feelings, and I'm sure it won't hurt his.
Frankly, I don't figure it'll hurt his feelings if you call him the other thing either, but it's a bad look for the forum to have people bandying that word around, and I'm asking you to simply choose different words. I think that's perfectly reasonable.
I'm not giving you an option. You're gonna choose different words or find another forum. Final Warning.elmersalsa wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:44I ain't chaging words, shiit!

It backfired and now he is running out like a pussy. I don't give 2 cents who likes me or not. I call things like I see it. You diss me first, I diss back. Simple as that.
But, answer me this question: What grown man and straight would draw a dick on a forum?
That tells me two things:
1. He is a faggot pussy
2. Or he loves dicks.
Which one of the two he is?
Oh! So you're the moderator! Why you didn't tell them to stop bringing dicks on the forum in the first place?gilgamesh wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:47I'm not giving you an option.

Believe it or not most Moderators are just posters like yourself. We're not highly paid executives in business suits
Now, why are you telling somebody to stop it, and the other ones, you give a blind eye?
I told you stop using ONE word. I didn't tell you stop doing anything else.elmersalsa wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:58Now, why are you telling somebody to stop it, and the other ones, you give a blind eye?
Is there a preference? Ain't everybody should be equal?
Ain't the moderator had to stop it as soon as possible when things get out of hand?
The word doesn't have nothing to do with the argument. He is dissing. I am dissing back. Why you didn't stop him from telling me those words? Is he your best friend or something?gilgamesh wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:59I told you stop using ONE word.

This is not a hard idea to understand.
