By far, by pure volume, the arguments I've had most in my life have been:

1. Emmitt vs Barry
2. Pacino vs De Niro
3. Batman vs Spider-Man
4. The Beatles vs Michael Jackson

(The winners obviously being Emmitt, Pacino, Spider-Man and Michael Jackson.)

You are correct on all four, you have aced this test.

At the weighin, Queen Elisabeth Hotel...Duran walks in and goes up to Leonard and pushes his fist under his chin...says June 20...the fight was won/lost right there....

I appreciate that you were there and Duran definitely won the fight, but Leonard intimidated? Not as I recall, he mistakenly tried to fight Duran's style of fight but I always had the impression that it was because he wanted to beat Duran at his own game. Interesting take.

Emmitt vs Barry

Emmitt was never pulled from the game at the goal line. Emmitt didn't set a league record for negative yards.
Despite the "negative yards" legend, it took Emmitt 50% more carries than Barry... to gain just 3,000 more yards. Think about that for a moment.

And for all that, he never won a playoff game and quit on his team. That sticks with me much more.

Emmitt never "won" a playoff game either. And if I was stupid enough to say that one player could win a game, did I imagine Lions 38, Cowboys 6 or were you just not born yet? Stop embarrassing yourself.

I actually kinda agree about the quitting part though.

Barry was flash. Emmitt was substance.

Emmitt would never have a -2yd performance in a playoff game.
