    True but I'll tell you what, Duran is much more skilled than Greb and if they switched era's Duran would have done better, he would have beaten more heavyweights than Greb ever could and Greb would lose to Hagler and Hearns.

    LOL. Thats funny. Duran beating 200 pounders. Hell, Duran beating a 175 pound all time great is pure comedy. If Tommy Hearns could stretch Duran out. Then something tells me that the 200 pound powerpunching Bill Brennan who nearly beat Dempsey and who Greb beat easily four times could do the trick as well. Something also tells me that Hearns isnt getting Greb out of there in 2 rounds much less 15 or 20 (Hearns achilles heal was strong, durable middleweights) and if Hagler gives away as many rounds as he did to Leonard, Antuofermo, or Duran hes losing to Greb.

    This sucks because I am a huge fan of Duran a true ATG. But..........Greb beats 3 shades of poop out of him for 15 or even 20 rounds. At 154 or 160 Duran though very good is no Mickey Walker.

    I'm a huge fan of Duran too, which is why I can't really see the point of pitting him against fighters who are similar in nature to him, but much bigger. What's next? Duran vs Dempsey?
