    Roberto Duran vs Julio Cesar Chavez Sr at 135. Who wins? This is a tough one to call but I have to go with Chavez! Chavez seemed unbeatable at light weight.

    But Duran was unbeaten, and he was much younger also. i pick Roberto beacuse he had more versatility than chavez.

    He was so young and fury filled.

    I never saw JC stunned at 135. I cant even think of a time he was stunned in his career. Chavez to me was unbeatable at 135 even if he fought the great Roberto Duran!

    Was his defeat to De Jesus at LW?

    Either way I still pick Duran over anyone at LW with only Sweet Pea coming close to beating him!

    Duran, sometimes he could have trouble with boxer/runners but with Chavez coming looking for him..............

    Good point, but I think your comment can apply to both these fighters.

    Yes, I agree but much as I admire Chavez, Duran is my all time favourite.

    Duran by unanimous decision. He just had too much for Chavez. It would be a SENSATIONAL fight though.
