    Came up with this odd question because someone was saying Duran wasn`t as good as some say because he lost to SRL, Hearns, Benitez and Hagler, and I made the argument that Duran was a natural lightweight with short arms and it got me thinking about other great lightweights and how they would have fared against the bigger guys Duran fought. So how would 'pea' have done even vs Hagler?!

    I dont think that question is even worth asking.

    Oscar wasnt in Duran's league and we all know that.

    De La Hoya doesn't beat Leonard in 100 tries
