Like no doubt at all. I don't think there is a doubt who punched harder.
Duran tried a sort of "Rope-a-Doper" on Hearns! motioned with his glove
"come on!" as he lay against the ropes!! that got him KTFO'd![youtube=425,350]GWei_1rSssE[/youtube]
Very exciting fight tho'! Duran was an excellent defensive and counterpunching boxer. But did it without running!
