    This is such a silly ass thread...I'm gonna start a new thread called Israel Vazquez vs Floyd Mayweather...c'mon man this is psycho to even think about. Hmm..actually the size difference is even worse than Vazquez and Mayweather....Vazquez vs Paul Williams more like it....

    Duran won like 4 rounds. Those judges were drunk.

    The most exaggerated "close" fight ever.

    Spot on.

    I had it 10-4-1 for Hagler. It was not close.

    Hopkins def. wins this one... I already could see him pull his last minute stunts in the last press conference...

    Hopkins UD. Duran would be competitive. No way is Hopkins stopping Duran by KO. Duran took Hagler's punches, and Hopkins doesn't quite have Hearns' power.

    Hopkins would have given Duran respect during the early rounds.

    There some nuthuggin going on here...as usual by Hopkins fans.

    1. There's only 1 fighter to knock Duran out and he's one of the hardest puncher P4P.

    2. Duran was not small for Hagler at 160, so why is he too small for Hopkins at 160 now?

    So it's easy for y'all to say Hopkins would win..but how many have really seen a Duran fight?

    Hopkins circa '98 stops Duran, Hopkins was a beast in the late 90s. Much better than what he is today.
