I left the IFC Center in Greenwich Village Wednesday night pondering deep philosophical issues, and also what a badass Roberto Duran was in his prime, and how skilled Sugar Ray Leonard was in his. I'd just watched Eric Drath's documentary production, "No Mas," which will run Tuesday, Oct. 15, on ESPN, as part of the "30 for 30" doc series. The film examines the rivalry between Leonard, the 1976 Olympic golden boy who took the baton from Muhammad Ali and ran with it before Mike Tyson wrested it away, and Duran, the man with the Manson-esque eyes whose extraordinary malevolence outside and inside the ring affected Leonard to the point he admitted he felt fear.
