    I've always liked Armstrong in this. He may not have been quite as naturally talented as Duran, but IMO he was more disciplined an infighter and his sturdiness/resilience were more proven in and around this weight.

    I'd favor Armstrong to finish strong and take the decision.

    Duran beat him in my tourney final:lol:

    In seriousness though i would favour Duran personally. A great, and frenetically paced bout no doubt.

    Well, as with Pryor, this would be a fierce inside fighting. I think this one goes the distance. But yet again, Duran's edge on defense decides it.
