    Duran is overweight at 160 with limited stamina. Herol, on the other hand, has skill, but not much firepower. Can Roberto possibly pull a Barkley here?

    Hasn't this been done recently? Graham's elusiveness and movement sees him dance around Duran for a wide UD

    I might favor Graham; I wonder if Duran would stand for any of that wrestling crap Graham will try to pull like the over-the-shoulder toss

    What a load of bollocks "Limited stamina" :lol:

    He stood up to the mighty Hagler OK did'nt he for 15 rounds & did a good 12 against Basher Barkley:yep Limited stamina indeed:patsch

    Anyway, Herol runs around for the UD, well maybe not if Herol decides to go for the big man act, he's done it before & blown it on more than one occasion. But on paper he should win out as long as he maintains his disipline & sticks to his "Will 'O' the wisp" style then you could'nt hit him with a split bag of rice.

    Probably Looks like a bigger version of Duran Vs Laing, In Roberto's latter years the last thing he wanted to do was go chasing some fistic Houdini.
    Graham would be ultra respectful, and pinch points without getting too involved, Duran may Tap his Chin and Mock Herol but its rather "Static Macho" Herol sticks with the Cautious winning formula to win the bout, but little by way of praise or new Fans.

    One of the most appalling, embarassing fights of the entire 90s you mean.

    It's quite shocking that Graham was able to do as well as he did against Brewer, or even the mediocre Chris Johnson when looking back on this.
