    Yes, how would this fight develop?
    Duran the legend, that went the distance with Hagler.

    Taking on the middle weight champ, Michael Nunn, who lost to Toney??

    Success for Duran or not?

    The height/reach disparancy is hideous

    I think Duran would do better against the moving Nunn rather than the one stood ring centre throwing more punches. Duran was great cutting the ring and slipping inside moving forward, he’d be peppered to death at a standstill with this Nunn though.

    Do you think Duran stand s a good shot here, the version that Toney beat?
    I realise that Nunn was beating Toney till the eleventh but maybe Duran also sees a defensive gap he can take advantage of?

    Not really. He’s hardly a powerhouse.

    He’s just too naturally small.

    I’d call Duran a good puncher even at 160lbs. He carried his power well, just not the ability to apply it to the bigger guys as much as he could down stairs.

    Not an overly good match for Roberto.

    I fancy a 120-108 unless Mike decides to take a round off or loses focus. A very close fight, though.

    If Duran is getting outboxed by Kirkland Laing, losing to Southpaw Robbie Sims, he ain't beating a prime Michael Nunn. This would be a mismatch and that's no disrespect to Duran who is a great fighter, but i see no scenario where Duran wins this fight.
