Could Roberto Duran upset Tony Zale?

No, Tony would kill Roberto.

 

I feel Tony would beat Duran and tire him too much with his body attack for Duran to hurt Tony enough to win

 

If a boxer as fine as Georgie Abrams gets very wrecked by the man of steel you really gotta wonder about Durans chances.

 

No!

he could fight him and even have some good moments sure, but beat him or upset him, I doubt it.

 

He might upset Zale if he called him nasty names, but I doubt very much that he would beat him in a middleweight boxing match!

 

I think yes. That style of fight would be good for Duran if he could be a little defensive.

 

I think Duran is overrated as a middleweight. Hell no he wouldn't upset Zale, who wouldn't be confused at all as to how to fight Duran...as Hagler was.

 

Soose was also a fine boxer and how did that go for Zale?

 

Ahhhhh,...no...

 

Volkswagen into a Hummer imo

 

Perhaps you could entertain this notion if Zale was a more basic fighter, somebody who Duran could slip between and frustrate.

Sadly for Roberto, Zale was great at what he did which involved denting ribs, cracking mandibles and tracking the opponent down like they'd banged his wife.

 

Any tie in here with Duran taking Zale or are u just perusing over at boxrec?

 

The pre WW2 Tony Zale who fought in a deep pool of great MWs, would have wrecked a
beefed up Roberto Duran. There was no better body puncher than Tony Zale, and no one was any tougher than Zale. He hurts Duran very badly in a unanimous decision or a late round tko. P4P Duran as a LW was better, but the Tony Zale before WW2 was a helluva fighter who is sorely underated today,because people remember his loss to a great Marcel Cerdan when the past peak 34 year old Zale went through that debilitating three wars with Rocky Graziano...These slam bang fights took so much out of Zale...
They didn't call Zale "the man of steel for nothing "...

 

that was a good one
