    Arguello/Duran was allegedly pencilled in, in 1978, but then Alexis lost that non title fight...

    Trinidad - Norris: hmmmm, was Felix too stiff, or could Norris take his punch?? I think it goes like Norris Jackson, although not so quick, i.e. Norris outboxes Felix for 5 - 10 rounds, until Trinidad lands the lights out right.

    Arguello - Duran: see Arguello - Pryor

    Hearns - McCallum: McCallum withstands the early onslaught and scores a late tko.

    Benn - Jackson: see McClellan Jackson

    Lou Duva told me that when Ingo won the championship, Rocky seriously thought of a comeback, and that he, Duva, was going to train/manage him. But, Rocky could not (or would not) find time to properly train and the fight never came off. Duva said, that was the closest Rocky came to a comeback.
