    Duran's weight issues could have started at WW..Maybe that why what happened with Benitez happened.

    Hagler was about an inch taller, but Duran's height, reach, chest and waist at lightweight were practically identical to Julio Cesar Chavez's at lightweight. I have no idea why you can't accept that. Duran was not natural at 154. He was fat. it doesn't matter that he fought at 154 as early as 1978. All that proves is that he was overweight.

    I don't think he lost much power ascending to welterweight frankly. He was always kinda big and strong for a lightweight anyway, and remember he turned pro when he was like 15 years old or something.

    Hagler is like 5'6 max.

    Duran was a big lightweight and Hagler a small middleweight.

    Duran is on the right after a enjoying the sun for too long.

    Probably why these guys were so freaking tough was that they were so stocky.
    Same goes for Tua, Tyson too etc. (Barbados Joe Walcott and Sam Langford too)
