    Put Duran in with McCallum and McCellan and you'd say he had a glass chin too :lol: Because no way Duran makes it to the middle rounds against either.

    Jackson only had 1 loss until the age of 33

    Duran wasn't a great fighter about 147

    Duran wouldn't be starched with a single halfhook/halfuppercut by Verno Phillips. :deal

    He also wouldn't be stopped in the 2nd round by McCallum, as good as McCallum was, he won't do what Hagler was supposed to do. :yep

    Umm McCallum was as good as Hearns at 154 and was a physical beast. Duran was destroyed by Hearns and ko'd into next week while not hurting Hearns at all. Jackson hurt McCallum but was beat up and stopped on the ropes while protesting the stoppage. McCallum would destroy Duran at 154 too.

    Jackson was shot to pieces when he lost to Verno Phillips. Should I bring up a stupid analogy like Duran getting twatted by Joppy too?

    julian the most powerful boxer at 154 for sure but his chin was a little weak and worked alot on intimidation i cant see duran being intimidated by him at all if duran could last past the 6 Its fight to win jackson dies out late in fights

    McCallum was not as good as Hearns at 154. He was just a notch below and he would not destroy Duran.

    Duran was damn near 50 when he fought Joppy. Almost ten years older than how old Jackson was when he fought Phillips.

    1. Thats your opinion, I rate McCallum above Hearns. McCallum would beat Duran pretty easily at 154

    2. Both were shot and past prime.

    3. Duran was very beatable at 154 as even the likes of Kirkland Laing proved - not to mention Benitez and Hearns. If Durans whole career was taken from his 154 showings no one would pick him over Jackson
