    Im like a massive Duran fan but I dont think thats true at all. I think far lesser opponents have given Roberto some trouble and quite a few of them had even less power then Pernell.

    That southpaw jab is one of the best Ive seen...and it looks like it stung.

    Both are around the same height and also reach. They both moved up through the weights, although Duran carried himself better past WW. Duran was the stronger LW with more power than Whitaker. If Whitaker was in with a LW version of Hearns, then I'd buy into the "far too big" opinion. If Duran was to win this fight, it would be **** all to do with being " far too big".

    But Whitaker's chin wasn't all that great either, and Duran had knockout power in both fists. I think there's only one outcome.
