    The Duran of Montreal who put on his best post prime performance against Honeyghan on his best ever night.

    Duran. Honeyghan was ordinary save the aberration against a dried up Curry.

    Duran would weat out Honeyghan in two rounds. Two different fighters of two different magnitudes.

    Lloyd takes too much punishment for his own good in this one.

    Duran would of welcomed Honeyghan's willingness to fight and beat him in every aspect of combat.

    This must be a joke.

    Honeyghan would take a savage beating.

    I concur that Duran's better overall skills would see him to victory,probably over the distance,but it would n't be a walkover by any means.

    Stevie, Honeyghan would have been savagely taken to pieces by Duran of 1980 vintage. Duran in Montreal was as good as it gets. He could do everything; slip, block, both while countering hard, hit with both hands, switch up and down with power and accuracy. Lloyd would have been mown down.
