What a barn burner this would be while it lasted. Does Duran knock him out or does it last the distance? Or could Cruz spring a mild upset? Yes he lost the other day, but everyone, even greats had off nights and lost against guys they were big favourites to beat. In reality I heavily favour Duran, but the styles would make for a good fight while it lasted. Who wins this matchup?
Complete mismatch, for me it`s between Duran and Robinson for the title of P4P of all-time, I don`t rate Pitbull at all, he`s just a brawler.
Pitbull is pretty durable. Exciting to watch but Duran on another level. He might survive 15 rounds but I think Duran would work his body and break him down for late round ko. Would be very reminiscent of Duran´s 3rd fight of DeJesus.
Cruz is not in the same league as lightweight Duran. Lost to Valenzuela, damn near lost to Cabrera (whom Zepeda violently stopped in three) and his greatest claim to fame among the casual instagram audience is giving an injured Tank a tough fight (the very same Tank who is notorious for giving away rounds and bailing himself out with power.) Damn tough and gritty fighter, but bar granite chin and workrate, he is in no way elite as far as offense goes.
I love Cruz but he is very one dimensional. Duran is about as complete a fighter as there has ever been not to mention he is arguably the GOAT at 135. Cruz is pretty much ****ed.
