Wonder what Duran's excuse would have been after the fight?

A. My tummy hurt.
B. I only had 5 months to train.
C. Had to lose too much weight to get down to weight limit.
D. Was doing too much "partying' before the fight.
E. All of the above.

LW Duran was such a brilliant fighter, almost the complete fighter.

Joe Gans was a ATG, too but @ LW, Duran is Top tier 1 or 2 (No 1, for me, personally).

[Ezzard]

Hard to imagine the best Duran not winning. But if he's 95% he loses.

Duran.
