    Duran too solid too strong and aggressive Duran UD or late TKO...I like a late stop because Aaron was also aggresive and would not be content to run....This is a war for the most part...Duran brings his own black bottle

    I think Duranimal is talking about a 'complete fighter' and Robbi is referring to dominance from the outside - though I don't speak for either, and could easily be wrong.

    I, personally, would never consider Hearns a master boxer. I think he was the most athletically overpowering boxer in his best weight-classes this side of Roy Jones. It's not hard to look good boxing when you can make Pipino Cuevas fear decapitation by throwing a jab. (he could box beautifully, though, and proved that when he moved up in the latter half of his career, but not nearly as much as, say, Whitaker)

    Though, you could say to be as coordinated as Whitaker was is a gift as well. I think we should strike the term and be done with it.

    4 pages of responses and it doesnt seem like anyone even gives pryor a chance of beating duran.

    Pryor would actually be a very tough opponent for the prime Duran at 140. Pryor's speed and power were tremendous. His conditioning terrific. I'd pick Duran in a close decision but it would be a hell of a fight.

    Yeah. Definitely one of the superfights that never happened. After a tear up of breakneck pace,Duran would seize this one by late round stoppage.

    Duran is far better defensively and is so much better of a puncher and a better boxer mover. I see Pryor getting punnished for his mistakes and open defense by deadly counters. Pryor also often relied on being the faster man but here he wouldnt have a speed advantage. Pryor's relentless attacks, great chin keep him in this maybe seeing him take a few rounds on workrate and should see him going the distance but there's only 1 winner
