A full of fire Graziano beat a past prime Zale (who wasn't bad)...Could Duran accomplish the same (or even outpoint) a Tony Zale?
Duran, though a better P4P fighter than Zale, would never have beaten Tony at their best.Zale, much too strong for the smaller Duran. As for Duran against Graziano @ 154 lbs, I'll take Rocky, before the Zale trilogy. Though crude,he destroyed Marty Servo,who gave Robinson two very close bouts,and lost by a hair. Graziano, a jr. middleweight @ 154 loved to tackle the welterweights. But of course Duran was an alltime P4p fighter, but truly a 135-145 fighter at his best. Duran couldn't intimidate Graziano,the original East Side Tough...
