    Roberto Duran vs. Julio Cesar Chavez at 135

    Who takes it at Lightweight? I see a back and forth brawl with Duran barely winning a decision by a point or two.

    Roberto and Chavez at prime, would be THE WAR! They had the heart of lions, the strength of elephants and durability of wolfs. But Duran takes it by an inch.

      Duran. I think Duran does everything Chavez does at the same level or better. I'm not sure how Chavez will handle Durans aggressiveness.

        If I was betting I would go for Duran at 135.

            Damn ! That's too hard but my pick is Duran, just because he had better head movements and defense.

              I'd give the edge to Duran, but you could never predict this fight. Both had solid chins. Chavez maybe even better then Duran's.

                There never will be, but it's safe to say there will never be another Chavez either. Both guys were some of the last old school fighters around. They both loved to fight and showcase their abilities for there fans. People bash both guys for having "padded records", but the bottomline is they just loved to stay busy and fight b and c-level opponents in between their big fights.
