    The Duran of the Hagler bout vs. the Tiger that stopped Gene Fullmer. Middleweights, 15 rounds.

    Tiger was the natural middleweight here and was much stronger than Duran...a decision over 15 for the relentless Tiger over the mercurical Duran.

    If Tiger boxes he'll win a UD. If he's aggressive, Duran goes down.

    Tiger by late round merci stoppage. As good as Duran was, he was too much past it and Tiger would do what Hagler didn´t: force the action.
