Roberto Duran vs Mike McCallum

McCallum was enormous and consistent at 154 and imo a lot better than Davey Moore, but Duran chose to fight Hagler instead. I think Hagler's style and build complimented Duran a whole lot better than McCallum's would have. Duran let himself go after the Hagler fight and would've been no match for the Jamaican at that time. Pre-Hagler would have been a lot more competitive with McCallum taking a UD.

I would bet big on McCallum.

No bigger Duran fan than me but whilst I think an in shape Duran would be competetive, once you start to go above WW a great fighter has got Duran beat and McCallum was a great fighter. Only chance Duran would have would be to knock McCallum out of his stride but McCallum was a bit too canny for that.

duran would get schooled duran would get outpunched and would hit the canvas afterr getting nailed with a straight right to the jaw

Two people have Duran beating McCallum inside the distance!? Really!? With what, a sledgehammer?

I'd love to hear the breakdown...
