    Duran probably would have beaten SAunders at 160 and Hagler was years better than Saunders, Duran is one of the greatest fighters of all-time and Saunders isn`t.

    Different sport, perhaps.

    Lady's figure-skating ?

    Synchronized swimming ?

    Duran "probably" would have beaten Saunders at 160? LMAOOO. He beat Iran Barkley after he starched Tommy Hearns and Iran was one of the biggest MWs ever. He was prolly in the 180s in the ring and Duran was fat and 38yo when he beat him.

    Duran was up on the cards against a prime Hagler after 10 rounds. All BJS has is a decent jab, no power, no combinations, overrated feet, decent head movement, poor defending body shots been dropped multiple times by them.

    Duran murks BJS.

    Indeed. This is, after all, the same man who would later go up to Middleweight and take Marvelous Marvin Hagler the 15 round distance.

    Duran was basically kicked out of his own country after that fight until he beat Davey Moore.

    Duran fought most of the greats after No Mas and had several spectacular results as an underdog.

    Duran's no Mas is arguably the worst quit job in boxing history. Bjs quit but it wasn't as bad as Durans

    Duran's quit job was much, much, much, much worse. The worst in boxing history.

    I have no problems with BJS quitting. His eye looked horrible and he was probably going to get badly hurt if he went back out there.
