Duran vs Mayorga at welter...

[IamInuit]

I thought this was a joke at first due to all the hypothetical matchups floating around. I now know that it wasn't.

Who did Duran KO at welter?

Whereas Mayorga was hit on the chin flush plenty of times by a who's who of the biggest punchers of the 2000's. Often free shots.

When he gave a shit he could take 12 rounds of it without flinching in the Forrest rematch.

How many other welter/middles could afford to offer and take 3 consecutive left hooks off of Trinidad and immediately chase and knock Trididad down?

I think the aura and myth around Duran has far surpassed his ability, and I say that as a Duran fan. Duran was great, but people look at him as this unstoppable killing machine that he really wasn't. He was a murderous LW but was never a big puncher at WW or above, we saw him get outclassed in numerous fights and even drop fights to much lesser opposition than Vernon Forrest (Sims, Laing).

I don't think it matters who he ko'd at 147. He was only there for a short time but you have to take a lot more into this hypothetical then a ko % at welter. Its crazy to even think that the same crude wild swinging bull dog that intimidated Viper would somehow beat the Duran that beat Leonard.

Not only did Mayorga lead with his face but he would have thought he was fighting a flash mob. The accumulation of pin point punches over the course of the fight would have put Mayorga in a coma. If he woke up, he would speak of the dreams he had of being gang raped by a school of piranha.

Ross I just don't see him getting through this off his back. Even if he had Galivans chin.

Mayorga is one of the toughest men you will ever find. He never quit (no mas) and took his beatings like a man.

That he did and he would here also.

[ross]

It would be an awesome fight but. Mayorga at his best was like trying to fight a shark off. He threw everything at full pelt and could unload all night without tiring. Could Duran hit hard enough to slow him down?

One of the only men to have Mosley on wobbly legs couldn't hurt him, even with free, clean shots

Yeah I really don't see Duran stopping him. It's possible late but I think it would be very, very unlikely.
