If 14 year old Tony Ayala had sparred with Duran instead of Cuevas....

Yeah, you're right. Ayala hit sooooo much harder than Tito.atschatschatsch

 

If 14 year-old Tony Ayala Jr. sparred with Roberto Duran in the Summer of 1977.

Not sure what it would have accomplished,,,,,,,,

It wouldn't have made the kid anything more or less. If it did happen, what
would 2 rounds of sparring at maybe 2-minutes per round tell anybody.

That this kid is great, and he is going to be a World Champion.

Nobody has that kind of vision.

 

Based on?!? Why are you such a deluded ****? I feel sorry for you.

 

Holy **** this threads still going?

Power factor?

What top 10 ranked fighter did Ayala KO (let alone iron chinned,defensively superb ATG's)??

His resume is garbage in actual fact but in keeping with where he was at as a fighter. He was a prospect. Nothing more, nothing less. Yes he scored some brutal stoppages against men who were there to be stopped but so did the likes of Randall Bailey, Acelino Freitas and Sam Peter at the same stage of their respective careers.

But funnily enough their amazing KO percentages dropped the further through the ranks they went as the quality of opponent improved and I'm certain the same would have happened with Ayala. He was simply a one trick,come forward slugger but that style holds absolutely no fears for a Duran or any elite fighter (unless you're a freak like a Marciano who was a lot more substance than fat Tony).

If Duran had've fought Ayala instead of Davy Moore I'd bet the house on Duran breaking him down and tearing him apart just as he did to Moore and similar to he did to Cuevas in a real fight instead of sparring.

Compare how a 37 year old Duran performed against the much bigger Iran Barkley with the 37 year old Tony Ayala's showing against Yori Boy Campas. Duran showed a defensive prowess,heart,chin, skill level and fighting prowess that was and in truth always would've been beyond Tony Ayala's comprehension.

 

I've been told it was Mexican Welterweight, Antonio Gin who sparred with Tony Ayala Jr. in San Antonio in August 1977.

Antonio Gin, former Mexican Amateur Star who represented Mexico at the 1972 Olympics.
Competed at (-60 kg), 132 lb. Lightweight Division.

Fought at the Light-Welterweight and Welterweight level as a Professional, {1974 thru 1977}

A style similar to Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas, but nowhere near the talent level.

Pipino was nowhere near San Antonio in the Summer of 1977.

 

This solves it. It was not even Cueves!!!!!!!! I knew it!!!!!! even in sparring Cueves would land his left hook and demolish Ayala!!!!! Duran would also!!!! Other fighters win titles!!!!!!!!! Ayala sparred Antonio Gin!!!!

 

So this thread should be. "if 14 year old Tony Ayala had sparred with Duran instead of Antonio Gin?"

 

Antonio Gin? :rofl:yep

 

Where did you find out it was Gin instead of Cueves?
