    People tend to overestimate Duran at 160 because of one great win but, in reality, Hopkins is in another class altogether at 160. Hopkins is head and shoulders above everyone historically at 160 except SRR and RJJ.

    Let this thread die. There's no justification for picking Duran over Hopkins at 160lbs.

    There's no evidence to suggest Hopkins would have any difficulty going fifteen. All the evidence to the contrary. Late knockout by Duran? This has to be the lowest percentage possibility.

    Hagler didn't fight the best fight against Duran. Hopkins wins this fight.

    Just can't see Duran pulling this one off.
