    Don't know if it's been done before.

    At lightweight? :think

    At welterweight? :think

    It's been done.

    Duran and Duran. Decision and Decision. Shorter punches, beats Armstrong to the punch.

    Duran UD at both weights

    Technically better, defensively superior, the more concise puncher. Ultimately, I don't think Armstrong has the style to beat Duran. His swarming, two fisted relentless attack plays into Duran's hands. But it would have been a hell of a fight.

    Amazin' fight, but Duran imo, although i think even his great defensive moves on the inside are gunna struggle here. Duran will just win with his superior skill on the inside imo, at 135, and possibly the same outcome occurs at 147 aswell

    Duran - superior all round skill wins out
