The following video on Benny Leonard was sent to me a while back by my friend and contributor, Brian, via you tube.com, and I finally got around to posting it. I also posted a video on Roberto Duran for comparison’s sake. These two great fighters are generally regarded as the best Lightweights in boxing history. Aside from being Lightweight Champions half a century apart, they were both trained by the legendary Ray Arcel, the trainer’s trainer. With so much shared history between them, and with two contrasting styles and personalities, it begs the question: who would win? Roberto Duran or Benny Leonard?
