It all depends on what kind of mental state and preparation Duran has he’s the greatest fighter of all time, and he took this very lightly and he paid for it.
      The "triangular theory" doesn't always work in boxing and this is one of those times.

      Hearns is too long, too powerful, and too good of a boxer for Duran to be able to do anything with him.

      Barkley had the size and strength to do something with Hearns.

      Remember, Barkley fought all the way up to heavyweight.

        Well, he was very arrogant coming off his close loss to Hagler. Hagler was destroying everyone up to that point. Duran nearly beat him. Hearns being smaller than Hagler by weight class, and knowing Durans training habits - I personally would believe it. Duran figured himself invincible and SRL had already beaten Hearns prior.
