    I love the fact thats the thing you like about him! His bad-ass attitude is the best thing about him, although Barrera still tosses him around like a rag-doll on the blob :bart

    Duran of '83 and 156 1/2 pounds beats Taylor of 2006........ Taylor lacks gas and becomes timid if nailed on the button......... Duran wins by decision......

    I would have to say Taylor UD. He just seems a little to big and fresh for Duran at that stage. Would be a dull fight to watch and I dont see him being able to ko Duran.

    Taylor wins a MWT match 8/10 times vs Duran, the Duran that fought Hagler might beat Taylor but Id back Taylor on pts vs any other version 100%.

    I picked Taylor by decision myself but the Hagler that beat Duran was a fair bit better than Taylor, its certainly far from criminal to suggest that that Duran performance would have been enough to edge out Taylor, especially in a 15 rder.

    Duran is NOT losing a fighter as stupid as Jermain Taylor.

    I agree with this.Hagler looking not so good had a lot to do with Duran.

    Taylor wins a dull but easy decision.

    Hagler is closer in size to Duran than he is to Taylor. You can't really use that as an example
