Who had more power as a WW (Duran or SRL)

Not saying who hit harder actually, I haven't commented. All in all I think it's relatively close, but I could see it being SRL. However, if wasn't commentating on my formula, I was saying how does what I say fit in YOUR formula. In the first fight with Hearns, he wasn't dropped, nor was he really even hurt. In the second fight, when dropped twice, again he wasn't all that hurt. He wasn't covering up and taking a beating from Hearns. This is in stark contrasts to how he reacted to Duran hitting him. He got jello legs and covered up right away and held for the duration of the round. He comments "My head was still in the clouds for about 4 rounds after that punch". So it wasn't as you describe and he just wobbled his legs a little. He said it affected him for the next few rounds. Again, we see him cover up in round 3 and hold on while covering up. Again, this is in stark contrast to how he acted with Hearns when "hurt". So I say again, Duran didn't even get much leverage into that punch at all, yet it hurt SRL very badly, how do you explain that? Does that sound like a guy who has very little power at WW to you?

 

I may believe that, if he didn't act that very way. If he fought back right away and should no signs of being hurt, okay, but that wasn't the case was it Kev? He immediately tried to hold on and wasn't responding with punches. Then, if your version is to be believed, the next round showing no signs of being hurt, he'd continue to fight like normal with no evidence of being hurt. Yet that isn't what happens is it Kev? He again comes out very timid and not on steady legs. He again covers up and holds on the instant Duran rushes him. He wasn't fighting normally nor firing back normally like we see later when he head is clear. The visual evidence backs up his statement that he was hurt badly, not the other way around. It completely disproves the theory that he was "just being Leonard" .

 

Hearns didn't get KO'd, he was out on his feet. Did you forget how Duran stopped Palomino? A guy with a much better chin than Hearns. Did you forget that Wilfred was a premature stoppage in my view, and other people's view. He wasn't KO'd or unable to continue. Did you even see these fights you're commenting on?

I'm simply saying, SRL had a solid chin, a very solid chin. Hearns didn't hurt him the way Duran did, and we know Hearns has great power. So I'm asking a simply question, if Duran hurt SRL that badly, with a poorly leveraged punch, doesn't that indicate very good power at the weight?

 

Okay, I accept that answer and I get what you're saying.

Again though, you keep on mischaracterizing the punch as a fraction of a second SRL was wobbled. He was much more than that. He was hurt more than either time Hearns knocked him down or really most any other time one can remember. He didn't comment on Hagler's power like he did Duran. So while not important, he wasn't simple wobbled for a fraction of a second. That implies he wasn't really hurt and fought on like normal. That wasn't even remotely close to the case. Doesn't matter though, your view is clear and fine with me on the power question.

 

I meant Cuevas, my bad
