    Evander Holyfield or Roberto Duran. I'll guess Duran.

    Duran. It's not really close.

    Although I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find Holyfield more entertaining.

    Duran. As a lt weight he was a killer.

    If Duran was an heavyweight he'd only lose to three modern fighter s imo, Ali, Foreman and Lewis.

    He was garbage as a super middleweight. He would be absolutely terrible as a heavyweight.

    Don't you think before you post Ferguson?

    I think he meant if he was a natural HW with the same skills and style, those are who he'd pick over him.

    That's more like it George, least you get it.I recall a thread that was on about Marvin Hagler been an heavyweight, how good hed be. Obviously, as you just said, it meant if Hagler had been a natural HW. Well a few chipped in saying Marvin would never make Heavy and he'd be a ball of fat with a short reach etc! Jeez some people.

    Yeah but maybe he wouldn't have those same skills and fight in the same style if he was 100 pounds heavier?Also imagine then Holyfield with his all round skills, underrated power, strength, speed, stamina and intensity if he was a lightweight? He would be near unbeatable.

    See it's gotta work both ways to be fair to both fighters.

    I agree, and it's virtually impossible to even think about. But I do get somebody saying that the style would give guys at other weights issues.

    You weren't joking Ferguson. You post a lot of silly things but as usual you can rely on me to point them out to you, son
