Firstly I think GGG is special. However Duran is great , and that night against Barkley was a night to remember. GGG has yet to face a fighter with a world class jab , right hand and defense. Duran has all of these. But the difference for me would be the speed , even at 37 he is still way way quicker than anyone GGG has fought. I think it would be a classic and one where Duran just pulls it out. Peace.
I'm in the minority on that fight, as I had Barkley edging it. Would've been a treat to see, regardless.
You're not crazy, because I've said the same thing and Duran would be up in his chest not giving him space. GGG's greatest asset to his power is space. Once guys feel that jab, they are retreating until the ko happens. Most of them don't even sit on their punches. Every time Barkley threw, Duran threw something, was slipping and working the body. That's how you beat GGG. You don't beat him by going backwards and pitty patting jabs..
