    I think even the Montreal Duran would lose to Hearns. The size disparity is just too great, I feel.

    I think you might be right, I’d love to have seen it though, Duran at that point would have been just as fast as Hearns, he matched Leonard for speed. Would have been another great one either way I think, I lean towards Hearns but can’t see the slightly drained , lighter version that fought Leonard being able to destroy a Montreal Duran like he did later either.

    Yeah; it would have been a much closer contest surely.
