    Seemed like Ike Ibeabuchi would have been a hard fighter to outslug, especially seeing how he was able to fight David Tua up close and still beat him at his own game.

    Not really? You don't brawl with a top tier heavy hitter unless you're insane. (I'm not saying Tyson was at the top of the top tier of power, but he was at least IN the top tier).

    Aaron Pryor at his weight I don’t see anyone in his prime beating him in a brawl.

    I'd take Duran all day long. Lets say he drops into 140 for a fight or two instead of going to 147 and SRL. We basically have the Leonard version of Pryor in a 140 pound package. It's scary. Hank Armstrong is another at 140 who'd be evens at worst IMO. An absolute animal of a brawler.
