Duran's hardest lightweight fight:

Hector Thompson may have had the heaviest hands of all times in the lighter weight divisions. His last two opponents prior to this fight had died in the ring. He did not have Duran's defensive skills.

Thanks. Those were interesting videos. I loved the scientific street fighter one. When opponents of Roberto Duran were asked post-fight about him, two themes seemed to commonly arise. First, every punch he threw, no matter how insignificant looking it was, hurt. Second, Duran was really hard to hit. This video shows why. As a master of strategic positioning, Duran was always on balance to get maximum leverage on his punches while being in position which made it hard for his opponent to counter-punch.
