    Imagine the staredown for this fight, to tell you the truth I will probably be more hype for this than any other. Puerto Rico vs Panama with all the fine woman in those countries at the fight.

    THE POLL IS 50/50 so far which suprises me because I thought everyone would pick Duran

    Not Duran's best weight at all, facing a bigger, primed fighter at this weight. I don't fault those choosing Tito, I just think if Duran put it all together like he did on those certain occasions at higher weights, that he'd outskill Tito.

    Not that I'm suggesting otherwise(Floyd was a bit big for Pep I think) but what makes you laugh at that? Is it just the size?

    well alot of people think on Auto pilot. and go by what they here even if they've never seen the fighter.

    it's not out of the question but alot of people who say no way in hellthe old time fighter lose usally don't take into account all the factors

    The Duran of the Cuevas and Moore fights versus the Trinidad of the Reid and Vargas fights would have been one hell of a battle.

    I'd have taken Duran in a close one for the previously stated reasons, but wouldn't have been surprised if Trinidad beat him and even less surprised if Trinidad dropped him with a left hook at some point.

    Davey Moore was pretty good, but **** Duran isn't Vargas. Moore was the favorite in that fight also
