lol Duran may have lasted three rounds at 147 instead of two. Duran gets ko'd by Hearns at any weight at 147 and above. Hearns weighed-in at 145 against Leonard and it was a same day weigh-in, that was not Hearns at his best in that fight. Duran is simply too small for a monster like Hearns. Next thing you know, you will be picking Duran at 147 over Robinson.
If your theory is true how did Duran end up beating the 6'1" Barkley at middleweight. The SAME Barkley to knocked out Hearns? Did I merely dream this fight took place?
Just like the same MANY credible boxing analysts said Pacquiao Beat Bradley the first time round?? Yet you would disagree with that. Fact:- Duran will always be HIGHER in the P4P ranking ( with loses ) than Mayweather will ever be.
154 wasn't Durans best weight. Laing and Benitez beat him too at 154. Many great 154lbers would of beaten Duran. H2h I would pick 147 Duran to beat Srr. Watch the Basilio fights and learn some boxing.
Duran would ko Floyd. Duran fought in the Golden age and fought, lost and beat the very best of that era. Floyd is a coward, a chump, and a thug. Duran would own him in every way. kellerman, fat rafael and the other one are too young to have seen the prime Duran, except perhaps when they detached from there mommas breast and stared unknowingly at the TV Duran was unbeatable at 135.
This is a great post:good:good. The biggest difference between the 2 is Duran's willingness to fight anyone, anywhere no matter how much bigger the opponent might have been.
If Floyd had taken one of those L's in his close fights... would his fans still ******edly elevate him to be something he's not? The power of the zero? Calzaghe-syndrome?
ydksab if you compare floyd to calzaghe. floyd would dust that quitter duran. five weight world champion by the aGE
Didn't give me nightmares at all, in fact I saw it again recently and I was surprised to have seen that Duran rose to his feet. I had forgotten about that. When you consider that along with the many flush shots that Barkley landed on him you gotta agree that the man had a hell of a chin.
