    Duran would win this war.

    At 135 doubt anybody could beat Duran even with PED's.

    Sorry to disappoint some people but Chavez himself admits that Duran was better... either way a Mexican Wins.

    rabmag KO1 search function.

    Duran, just the more skilled brawler. Too slick and possibly better on the inside. That's taking nothing away from Chavez, though - Duran was just an extraordinary animal in his Lightweight prime.

    Yeah what a war that would have been, but I say Duran by decision, both had great chins.

    I don't see either men being stopped but I see an outrageously entertaining battle. Duran would win his rounds a little clearer with the more cute inside work and countering, but this really would be a mouthwatering clash. Both fighters were as tough as they come, both liked to put their punches together and trade blows. Excellent match-up.

    The fight would be such an epic war that Cintron would jump out of his chair and hide behind the couch.

    Duran by brutal KO no later than the 10th. Chavez would be ruined and Duran would be needing a few extra months off himself.
