Julio Cesar Chavez vs Robert Duran 135

Duran's better defense would be the difference in a great fight,Duran by decision.

 

Duran by punchination.

 

that fight would be top five alltime fantasy fight that would be to tough tocall

 

Duran. No question to me.

 

Duran 115-113.

 

duran batters chavez

 

I agree that both defenses are underrated but disagree with Chave'z defense being better,duran had better head movement than Chavez and he rolled with punches better than Chavez he was also a master of the feint,i would give the edge in chin for Chavez but not by much.

I think that overall Duran was the better and more skilled fighter of the two,he simply could do more things than JC and had more weapons than JC.

I cant see JC beating someone like Prime Leonard,outjabing a guy with the size difference that Barkley had over a 38 year old Duran like Roberto did or outboxing a guy like Dejesus from the outside.

They are two of the greatest fighters ever and i have great respect for both but for me its Duran all the way in this case.

 

At 135 Chavez had really solid defense and moved much better...Duran's defense was not as good as J.C.'s

I think that this fight would have shortened the career of both fighters. In the end Chavez would win his combo's are also underrated.

 

duran toys with jcc for 11 rounds for the crowd's entertainment and tko's him in the 12th to close the show

 

Frankly I would never pick anyone against Duran at 135.

 

Duran is tops at 135........ That means he'd beat "Joe Gans and Benny Leonard" in a time machine........ I believe so............. J.C.Chavez would be a great fight, but Duran gets to Chavez late and TKO's his ass....... Duran wins......

Nor would I, Duran at 135 was just too strong, quick, skilled, primed and powerful.

 

Christ, I can't recall who it was, but some assholes' a while back on ESB swore up and down that Benny Leonard would own Duran's ass in a time machine........ I just scoffed at them fools......... BUT! To each his own.......

The great Groucho Marx once said in a movie in regards to Chico Marx's dumb Italian character in a court-room..... Groucho said: "Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, just because he (Chico) looks like an idiot and talks like an idiot, don't let that fool you..... He is an idiot."

Great stuff.............
