Carlos Monzon 1972 vs Roberto Duran 1983, 160 lbs. 15 rounds

Love Duran, but Monzon would win this.

 

Monzon by stoppage, not ud.

 

I feel the same. Duran just wasn't the same guy at 160. With that said, he was still capable of competing at a high level at 160 as he showed against Hagler and Barkley. With that said, Monzon would be too much.

 

Hagler didn't KO Duran, Monzon wouldn't either.
But he would go on to win a dec victory. But
I wouldn't count Duran out, because he was simply
a much better fighter.

 

i don't rule out Duran against Ali neither

 

Monzon by KO in no later than 5 rounds. He didn't gave

 

Monzon by KO in no later than 5 rounds. He didn't have the weak psyche that Marvin had, and right away, Roberto would realize he made a HUGE mistake getting in the ring with Carlos.

 

Duran was, is and forever will be the more aesthetically pleasing of the two, and in every way, the more beloved and sentimental fan favorite...but in a H2H encounter,...in any way you want to slice it,....Monzon would destroy Duran. He would do to the best middleweight version of Duran, what William Joppy did to him at the end of his career....only within 5 rounds and at least one knockdown. No lapses or confusion in strategy, no undue over-respect from Carlos....just a merciless beating, after a customary slow start....and I agree with Titan1 in that Roberto would be in for a terrible, rude awakening in this fight, and realize what a mistake it was.

 

carlos points win

 

Oh my gosh, I absolutely have no pick. If I say one beats the other, I'd kill myself.

 

It's asking too much ,, Duran's defensive skill would allow him to hear the cards in a loss about the same as to Hagler, around 145-141
