Start there. That was pretty much the finished product at 135.

 

Duràn became much more of a scientific boxer after that match with Viruet/Lampkin I see,I prefer Duràn because he also had the versatility of Taylor,plus he actually dug the body.

 

Agree

Agree with your first 2 examples. Don't believe that Duran v Chavez is a similiar situation.

Been rewatching quite a bit of Chavez recently. He's even more impressive than I remembered.

Never said Chavez would beat Duran. Convinced, though, that Chavez would be very competitive, regardless of the outcome.

 

Duran

 

I can certainly agree with a competitive fight. Duán may do almost everything better, but that doesn’t necessarily add up to a one-sided bout.
