    Gotta tell ya I dont consider Zab being anywhere near great.
    Secondly Duran would run him outta the ring.

    I don't know about that. A prime Zab Judah at 147 is a force to be reckoned with. Did you see the way he was handling Cotto before Cotto castrated Judah? And that was a past his prime Zab.

    he looked real tough against baldomir too...(sarcasm)

    come on, a "prime" Judah doesn't exist, he's too inconsistent to find a "Prime" of his career spanning more than a 2 fight streak.

    Not to mention that Zab would have a 12 pound weight advantage, plus advantages in height and reach. Remember the last time Duran faced a big puncher who had these attributes?

    Yeah but that was'nt just a "Big" puncher... That was probably the hardest hitting welterweight ever after Sugar Ray Robinson...

    Hearn's hit harder than SRR at 154 that's for sure. Robinson's sheer power there is oft forgotten today due to lack of footage and other talents but he didn't quite match Hearn's sorry.
