This was back when boxing was at its prime.👏👏👏
Boxing has never been so good best era of boxing ever
Back when the best fought the best 🔥
Those were the golden years of boxing, when men were men and not a bunch of divas
I remember Duran quitting like a diva against Leonard though
@@courthogan3140Oh ? And do you remember cleaning the Lightweight division and moving up for his very first fight at WW against Leonard ans beating him ? 😊
Do you recall Duran Climbing many weight classes and being crowned at 154lb ? 🤔
Do you remember the Legend, a natural Lighyweight going the distance with Hagler while Roberto was past his prime and way above his prime performances at a much lower weight ? Just asking 😉
I recall Leonard being strategic asking for a larger ring, knowing Duran would not be at his best because he was partying, Ray admitted it himself
@Pablo
Everything you said about Duran’s achievements is true.
……. However, he still quit though.
Duran is an all time great…… AND he quit in the ring like a diva ….. both these statements are true ….
People like to say modern boxers are divas ….. I’ll tell you one thing : Mayweather would NEVER have FUCKING quit in the ring.
@@courthogan3140 Mayweather does not deserves to be mentionned in the same sentence as Roberto Duran though .. Roberto fought at à time with less weight classes, moving up actually meant something yet ; Duran fought the likes of Leonard, Hearns ans Hagler ; Pipino Cuevas, De Jesus etc ..
The fact that Duran moved up to Welter Weight to fight Leonard is already more impressive than anything Floyd has done ; Floyd never fought Pacquiao in 2009 ans the latter was the naturally smaller Man .. Floyd never fought Margarito ( Pacquiao who was even smaller did ) .. when Mayweather fought Cotto, he was already not the same as at the beginning of 2000's... Oscar was past his prime, so was Mosley .. Mayweather chose to fight Maidana instead of Khan back in 2014 ..
So Mayweather is the real diva with a manufactured Career, he took absolutely no risks ; never fought Sergio Martinez when the latter called him out ( Martinez was a small 160lb, he was more of a 154lb ) .. Mayweather never fought Paul Williams or Erislandy Lara ..
Duran quit once, but he quit against a man who was strategic by choosing the size of the ring, fought Duran when he knew very well Roberto had limited time to cut weight, it was not the same Duran and even with a Loss, Roberto beat him coming from the Light Weight division, went the distance with Hagler ; beat up Moore ...
A win over Leonard is more impressive than anything Mayweather ever done before : You talk about Duran quiting but what about him coming from Lightweight and beat up Leonard at 147lb ? What about Duran beating up Moore, what about Duran being past his prime and way above his natural weight going the distance against Hagler ? 🙃 Mayweather never had this Macho aura .. or wins against Maidana, Berto, Guerrero are more impressive ? 😅 ..
Both Duran and Leonard were divas, ducked fights.
Hands of 🪨the legend
Two absolute gladiators. Hagler being the disciplined one, Duran sometimes could be a bit complacent... but both guys were natural fighters, just had it in them, loved the battle and the chaos that came with it
If it’s possible can top rank post videos of hagler and Duran training ?

A lot of Marvin’s workouts were closed to the public, specifically when he got to Vegas. There is video of some of his workouts in Palm Springs, and he really worked hard in a rhythmic fashion to music…. In March of 1987, a friends dad went to Palm Springs on business (He was an architect) but somehow ended up watching Hagler workout twice over the week he was there. However, from the sparring sessions he told/bet me Ray would beat Marvin….At the time this wasn’t known to the general public. There are still a few people around that watched those sessions that would admit Marvin was slowing down and it showed in the real fight. Duran has some film sparring Nigel Benn before Iran Barkley fight and TR posted him sparring before his 3rd fight with SRL. Both guys are the epitome of champions and the sport misses them to this day.
Eso mismo 👌
Real fighters performing like champions❤❤❤❤❤
This was a very entertaining and INTERESTING fight. Hagler was better on the inside while Duran was better in the outside. I thought it would be the other way around. Watch closely at how Duran was able to avoid so many punches. Hagler won in a beautiful fight.
Hagler was a King of stalking you and cutting off the ring. That voracious style and being able to take a punch, meant “night-night” for many an opponent.
Это был конкурентный бой, на карточках судей лидировал Дюран, но Хаглер выиграл последние два раунда, что и принесло ему победу. С Хаглером мало кому это удавалось.
@@dauddauddov460 Yeah. I completely agree.
@@SpiritMover314 Yeah. Hagler deserved more respect when he fought and not after he retired.
@@funkrates4778 Absolutely….One of my favorite fighters of all time…..In my Top 3.
Can we please get Duran v Sugar Ray Leonard 1?
it's already on here
How is it that past press conferences, fight posters, hell even the podiums, and overall fights (easier to make) are more lit than what we have now? START LETTING FANS INTO PRESS CONFERENCES!
🔥
Marvin Hagler for President. Undefeated champion of the world. Shady Ray Leonard fight was a fix.
I think Marvin wasn’t trying to be rude to Duran but before he fights someone he wants to hate them so he can destruct and destroy or else he won’t have that drive he needs.
I kind of get why the Marvelous one was so insecure. Being the champ getting booed like that
Bob Arum was a O.G. in the game already in the eighties lol Legendary
LOL Duran was more popular in NY than most of their own guys
Why don't they do those giant gloves anymore.?
It'd be GREAT promotion, raffle it and give it to a fan with both names signed on it!
I'll love to see diego and Floyd press conference 😂😂😂cause that fight look personal
Two of the baddest m…… to ever step into the ring
Two of the all time greats, think RD was cutting weight at the press confrence the way he was sweating 😜
RIP MMH ❤🍀🥇
Have so much respect for both of these two fighters. The fight was a close contest. Duran laid back and boxed Hagler off his back foot. Those counters were masterful….Duran just got worn down in the middle rounds and had nothing really left late. Hagler imposed his natural edge in strength and conditioning as the fight entered the championship rounds. Hagler 9-5-1 … AS USUAL MMH wasn’t judged correctly, as Duran was NOT winning this fight after the 13th (like all 3 judges scored).
Duran was a great fighter, but too small too beat Hagler.
F he could have the same power to weight ratio he had as a lightweight, it might have been different.
Marvin was great too. RIP champ.
You can tell the love and life for the job is not in Bob Arum or TR's heart anymore with what we have now 😅. Everything is so lame now, it's not lit. Doesn't feel like a party...
Hagler was just too big, too good and too hard for Duran. He took everything Duran had and gave him more than he could handle. Hagler was not one for messing with. He always felt disrespected by anyone who challenged him. Especially when they are booing him.
Look at those sweat marks (armpits) 😅.
Didn't know how spoiled they were in the 80s. Matchup like this today would cost $499 on ppv
Duran was good boy in this fight, imagine if Duran talked to Marvelous like he did with ray. He would've gotted ko, worst beating of his career
He did talk shit to him,Duran don’t give a SHIT
Ignorant Duran fans not letting Marvelous Marvin be heard, I thought Marvin won.🥊🥊
he should be thankful to them for that big payday
When boxing was boxing. Not this girly shit we're witnessing this deballed era.
