...Was trying to think of an aggressive puncher/swarmer who would have a chance against Roberto and Lewis is who i've come up with. Of course Lewis could box too, and I feel he's underated - one of the best to come out of Europe for sure. He'd be the bigger man here, and though it's with my heart in my mouth, I guess i'd pick Lewis to beat Duran. What about the rest of you?
the kid wouldn't succumb to duran's rough-housing, he'd more than hold his own. i dunno though, i can just see lewis being hit with crisp counters one time too often. i think duran would deal slightly better with lewis' power than the other way around, even at this weight... power and sharpness of punch to duran. inside exchanges leaning towards lewis. duran ud (because judges tend to shun the inside work in favour of the cleaner headshots)
This is a very intruiging match up,the original crashing , dashing , bashing ,Kid,against Hands of Stone. I think I might be tempted to pick Lewis too. Duran was not allways so impressive at welter,and Lewis was a very strong 147 pounder, who had the misfortune of coming up against Jack Britton nearly every ****ing week. I look forward to more posts on this excellent match up.My compliments for thinking of it MM.
thwead, wise from yow gwave! 6-inch boxing head to head deathmatch. Kind of inclined to favor him based on sheer lb-4-lb accomplishments. I also think Lewis has much greater power, and surprising accuracy from what i've seen of him. I'd sacrifice PowerPuncher for Britton-Lewis footage
I'd sacrifice Powerpuncher for a hotdog. I dunno...I think he could get out-monstered, yeah. It's Duran by knockout or Kid on points.
ayo that dude mcgrain. dude know his boxing forreal forreal. son likes the lesser known fighters of the era namsaying. he be likin them teds kids lewis and elbow mcfaddens. sometimes he show sympathy for the ducked fighters nahhmean. them burleys and wills and langfords. i think he enjoy the mystique behind them coulda might possibly have done legendary things dudes. ayo word is bond though son does his research. he read them newspapers clippings n all that. he collecting them primary sources nahhmean. son writes pretty good too and he do a good job of buildin up them legacies without dickriding namsayin. thats important yo cause you cant be doing none of that hero worship forreal forreal. he do a good job of giving the information with some flava nahmean. not like that dude harry otty whose book reads a lot like a list of sources fam. ayo he should find a fighter he really cares about n then right a book about it. word is bond i'd buy that junt day one day one purchase from the black land namsayin. maybe he could describe the life of that spindly looking mother****er bob fitzsimmons nahmean. son has no good biopics.
