    Hows this one tickle your tonsil s?
    Middle weight title.
    Roberto from the Barkley ft.
    Bob from the Np Dempsey fight.

    Fight takes place in Fitz s era, so them s them rules.
    20 rounds.
    Duran V Fitzsimmons??

    Fitzs by ko in 1! Pure firepower and boxing skill. Too much for the great Duran.

    No pressure fighter who is significantly smaller could beat Fitzsimmons. Duran was amazing, but I don't see him taking the punishment.

    I don't either. I actually see Bob koing Duran, has Hearns did!
    Maybe not has quickly but it happens. Roberto gets his head snapped back and ends up forgetting the day.

    Yep, quick KO for Fitz. As good as Duran was, Fitz is just too much.

    Since Fitz generally weighed a bit over 160 not sure why a natural LW would be fighting him but if he did I go with Fitz.

    In this fantasy match, Duran would actually be the heavier guy.
