    Montreal Duran instead of fighting Leonard, fights a 160 Hagler instead, could Montreal Duran do an ‘Armstrong’, or has he no chance ?

    If he moved up to 160, why would anyone think he’d retain even a fraction of the speed and flexibility and stamina he showed at 147 in Montreal?

    The fight is with Duran just as he was in Montreal, 147, Hagler is 160

    I think his chances would be better puffing up to 160.

    How do you think it would look with Duran as he is ?

    Very different. Those hell-bent charges into the fray against the 147-pound Leonard wouldn’t happen against the much bigger, stronger Hagler. He’d try to be cagey, as he eventually was in ‘83 anyway.
