Thread: How long would Duran last against Foreman?

Seriously, say a prime Duran and a prime Foreman fought. Could Duran manage to survive for 5 or 6 rounds by running and countering? Always wanted to see a lighter fighter fight a really heavier fighter just to see what could happen.

What about a prime Sugar Ray Leonard vs a prime Evander Holyfield? How long could these lighter fighters survive and could they on an odd night even WIN?? Could a sharp Duran shot really hurt Foreman if it was on the button?

Duran was a fantastic fighter, but it's nuts to imagine him in against Foreman. Just as it's nuts to imagine Pac in there with Wlad. Both would get knocked out quite quickly IMO. They just wouldn't be able to get in and out without taking punishment. We are talking massive differences in size and weight here, not a few piffling weight divisions.

Thomas Hearns vs Mike Tyson is the better match up.

Nah how about Ricardo Lopez against Vitali? That's a much more interesting fight!

Ivan Calderon vs Lennox Lewis tops that.

Iron Boy by late stoppage

Pac v Valuev. Seriously, what do we think happens here?

Thomas Hearns wouldn't have lasted a minute agaisnt Tyson.

You gotta remember that not only are the HW's punches going to destroy the smaller guy when they land, but the HW will just come at the smaller man non-chalantly, without having to respect their power.

As soon as George found Duran with the wind of his punch.

pretty much. Im just intrigued on how Tyson would react after absorbing Hearns' best shot.
