That's just it...Leonard was better than Duran. Leonard did it in several weight classes and embarassed Duran the second time they fought...so badly that he quit. I realize it's not a who beat who list, but c'mon when you beat all of the greats, in your weight class while you're in your prime, it speaks very loudly. I think Duran is probably a top 10-15 all time, but not deserving better ranking than Sugar Ray Leonard.
