or at least, you know the answer that Duran is going to give you

he even said it, Ray can come here 100,000X and I'll tell him the same thing 100,000X and he still wont' be satisfied

and IMO, there is a story there

the EGO of Ray

Duran said the media made up No Mas, that he never actually said those words

they spun the story to Duran quitting

so Ray's battle is with the media, not Duran

he won the belt, nothing can change that

Ray's ego wants the story to be how he conquered the indestructable, how he broke the will of Manos De Piedra

and, based on the doc, it doesn't look like that's what happened

he wasn't in proper fighting shape after partying like a rock star after the first fight

if Ray wanted to squash that, he could have taken a 3rd fight

instead of being the Egomaniac he is, and making Duran wait 10 years

even Mike said Duran redeemed himself by the results from his career after that fight

if Ray wanted to remove the doubt from No Mas, he could have taken a 3rd fight

but his Ego made Duran wait a decade

same shit he did to Hagler

instead of framing the doc around some uncovered explanation, they could have gone into Ray's psyche, and why he can't be happy without Duran saying, you broke my will Ray, or something like that

IMO, the doc kinda sullies the perception that Ray indeed did frustrate Duran, broke his will, etc...

Duran was out of shape.

Ray's Ego might want to leave it alone
