Roberto Duran vs Harry Greb @160lbs

Yes, because mind games are the only reason Duran won.

 

Ive never seen Harry Greb fight but lets put it this way.... I wouldnt bet on Duran.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Greb by unanimous decision. An all time great middle against an all time great lightweight who had success at the higher weights. Duran's skill set makes it interesting though.

 

Greb would easily defeat him by decision ..

 

No?
Where did you dream up I never met Nate Liff?

 

Yea, pretty clear Duran wins that one. He KOs Greb with the first punch he throws, even when he misses. :hey

 

Of course not. He beat down DeJesus twice without resorting to these tactics, and he obviously wasn't using smoke and mirrors when he dropped Barkley. He was brilliant at them though, disarming Palomino off balance by cordially asking for an autograph for his son, and we all know about the "Puta!" salute to Juanita Leonard. He was able to feint both into knots because of his punching effectiveness, and that's certainly an element of mind games. (Duran was actually very relaxed for Palomino, smiling broadly at the weigh-in while Carlos was on the scales, and grinning wolfishly when knotting up Palomino with his feints, not always burning with white hot intensity in that situation, one of his career finest.)

El Cholo could be somewhat diminished when he failed to intimidate, as the Viruet boys demonstrated.

Harry wouldn't bother trying trench warfare with the smaller Duran as SRL did in Montreal, but simply stick true to his usual initiatory formula of bouncing in and out volume, volume and more volume, complete with a healthy swarming assortment of stray thumbs, heels, laces, slaps, cuffs, backhands, elbows, head butts, shoulders, and whatever other incidental contact the referee might be too slow to discern.

Greb might also be flying around the ring like Fernandez did, only Roberto's body attack wouldn't dent Harry the way it packed up Vilomar's tent.

What happens when Duran thumbs his eye, as he did to Davey Moore, or punches him in the nuts, like he did to Buchanan? Ask Kid Norfolk! In this one, El Cholo is clearly the second baddest ass in the ring. (He'd be the third baddest if Dempsey refereed this thing. Jack would be my first choice to officiate this street fight. Anarchy rules!)

 

You wanna put some money on it?

 

:hat

 

Is that a yes or a no?
Any 3 parties wanna move this thing forward?
