I don't think it would be easy. Duran did not beat great fighters usually, so that alone makes this fight very difficult for Duran. For people to say he would easily win I don't think so. Chavez could punch and had a good chin.
Duran did not beat many great fighters. One. And that guy beat him two times after that There has to be a reason why he would so easily beat Duran. His resume does not show it? Style? Fighters look greater when they fight lesser fighters, but when they fight fellow greats they automatically look less.
DeJesus and Buchanan weren't great fighters?Don't get around much do you?And what about Lampkin,Marcel and Palomino?ALL very good fighters.Now that you mention it,I think the world of Julio,but just who on his resume is better than Buchanan or DeJesus?
You sure Chavez would have stopped DeJesus?You claim Duran beat only one great.Now,I happen to like JCC and was a big fan when he was on the go,but what great did HE beat?
Then you are not a "converted" southpaw........if you stood southpaw from the beginning......you are just a ****'n southpaw.
Duran is Mexican... I see this fight as brutal and close. A 135 pound Chavez was much better than the 140 lb version. However, Duran's resume at 135 was better than J.C.'s. I honestly think this fight could go either way.
