    I was thinking the same thing (not the die part obviously), HOI literally gave Duran every compliment going only to be told he was underestimating Duran... madness :nut

    Duran has one of the greatest Right Hands in the history of the sport, certainly a lot better than anyone southpaw Pac has ever come up against.

    What's more, Duran would have a height and reach advantage over Pac.

    I just can't imagine how Duran who is naturally bigger than Pac, could ever lose to him, if they were both in their prime.

    He slipped a lot of shots by mere milimeters :lol: At first glance on a lot of film, he looks like he's getting hit more often than he really was and that chin was damn near granite - save for a peaking Hearns - when he did get caught. It's funny because I think it's possible to overrate him defensively but from a casual/general perspective, he's probably massively underrated and stereotyped. Taking into account how aggressive-natured and offensively skilled as he was, it's his defense in conjunction with it that made him an absolute terror.
