Rocky Graziano vs Roberto Duran

Graziano was a MW, even in the days of same-day weigh-ins he'd have a large size advantage. Nevertheless I'd go with a properly prepared Duran, Graziano was a crude fighter. If we were to go with Zale instead however, I'd go with Zale over Duran.

i'd say graziano, he hit very hard, good stamina, alrite chin, and would have a big size advantage

Duran by UD at his best. I still don't get why Duran has to be matched up against middleweights although Graziano was more of a light middle who had some of his best wins against welterweights coming up in weight.

Both were the same height.

Duran would have had to be in really poor condition to lose this one I think. Too much skill and stamina for Rocky. Rocky was a tough guy but very one demensional .

My first instinct is to say Graziano, but he was he really much better than Iran Barkley?
