Ciby that is a good one and a little bit true....yes I am proud of my background but I am also disappointed in my fellow Canadians for their mindless knee jerk anti americanism....as an American Immigrant and military veteran I have never been accorded the mean spirited back stabbing that goes on by Canadians about Americans ....Last time I was in Toronto it had a new very active Dominican community, restaurants and all ....I order the bandera it freaks them out.....and yes Puerto Rico will be a state and they also produce more and better boxers than practically anywhere else ....I once had lunch with " The Bible of Boxing " Wilfredo Benitez.....But my heart belongs to Duran the greatest no matter what anybody says

Manos de piedra was no joke in his time but he stood in the game longer then he should've. Leonard ate him in his prime, though.

Ray Leonard beat Duran in their second and third match-ups but their first fight in Montreal Canada (props to GC) was an epic battle. Leonard made Duran fight the rematch almost immediately considering Duran's penchant for wine, women and song after his victory so that Duran would not have ample time to get back into fighting shape after his indulgences. The strategy worked, as a flabby out of shape Duran introduced the words "no mas" into the boxing lexicon vernacular. Remember, that a well past his prime Duran won 2 World Championships, by defeating Davey Moore and Iran Barkley, two excellent fighters, in their prime.

I'm counting on Puerto Rico to continue bringing home those belts, especially around the welterweights. Miguel Cotto is out there and a threat to all at 147, and he already has a win over the putative champ Mosley. Luis Collazo has been doing his thing despite shameful judging against his style and I expect he will continue to surprise. Others are coming up as well...they certainly are the class of Antillean and Caribbean fighting history, we Dominicans can stake little against that claim! http://englishquisqueya.ning.com

It wasnt a great fight, but I did repsenct Leonard more after that ... since he had th guts to take him on.. then in lvD 2, leonard was on his gaem... showboating etc...

Did Tito ever fight Duran? Glimm, Do you believe that Leonard vs. Duran I, was not a good fight? This was an epic slugfest with Leonard abandoning his trademark fighting style to go toe to toe with Duran. Duran's unanimous decision speaks to the closeness of the fight, winning with scores of 145-144, 148-147 and 146-144. A must see classic battle that had many sub-plots and great action. P.S., Trinidad never fought Duran. Edited on 2/6/2009 6:31 PM by devin11.

Speaking of Cotto what's your take on all the hoopla surrounding a possible illegal substance in Margarito's glove that night? The maragarito that fought Cotto sure didn't look the margarito that fought Mosley, that's for damn sure. "Don't ask me who's influenced me.

Devin: I said that the first one was the fight to see..... it was better than good.... what I said was that it wasnt GREAT ... see , i would have wanted Duran to knock leonard out.... that would have been GREAT !!! A slugfest was Duran's fight..... the concern was if Duran would be able to catch Leonard, would he be able to hurt him enough to win the fight... but Leonard went toe to toe wiht a slugger.. tilting all odds to Duran ... thus, I also said, I respected LEonard after that fight......I thik Leonard wanted to prove something to himself and he did that night..... Duran was liek an energizer bunny.//// he kept on going and going..... even way after his prime , he was still a force to be dealt with...... one of the all time greats!

Let's remember there can be a difference between a great FIGHT and a great BOXING MATCH. That's one thing I love about the sport, you're never absolutely sure which you'll get when you put two elite guys in there. Margarito ... well I'm trying to wait on the commission to pass judgment. Unfortunately a lot of ppl have doubts about that Cali commission. I hope this was just Hopkin's old cornerman using the mind tricks he learned in that camp in Shane's favor, but we'll have to wait and see. http://englishquisqueya.ning.com
