I'm surprised to see Duran (4)


Duran is considered the greatest Lightweight ever. Most remember him from his fights with Leonard, but those fights and everything after were at Welterweight or heavier.

He is ranked this high because of what he did before the Leonard fights, which was basically destroying the Lightweight division for about a decade. His run from around '71 - '80 is considered one of the greatest decades by a single man in boxing history. He was pushing legendary, Sugar Ray Robinson status during this run.
