After Duran was brutally ko'd by Hearns do you think he was the same?

[Larry the boss]

He took a year and a half off and basically came back and fought low level fighters..He did however eventually win the WBC title from the Middleweight title from Iran Barkley years later..Do you think he needed that time off and do you think he was still on an elite level?


Can you name other fighters who came back from brutal ko's?

[MJ223]

Yeah I think so..... Duran had plenty of highs and some lows in his career but he was a fighter through and through

[PAC-BOY]

Dont think anything inside the ring disturbed his career. Outsdie the ring ...a different story. He had his moments to shine and fell short at times after that fight. Like MJ^^^ said...he had his ups and downs!

[Frank Ducketts]

Duran had lost so much weight before he fought Hearns that he had no punch resistance for that fight. Normally ironed chin, Duran was wobbled or hurt by every punch Hearns landed. He took harder shots from Barkley or Hagler. The time off served him well.

[Redd Foxx]

One of the most vicious beatings in boxing history, yet it didn't break him. That iron s.o.b. was still pretty solid afterwards.

The time off did serve him well, but I do not care if he was in peak physical condition with baseball mask on. Hearns was going to knock him out. Too much range, too much power.

Hearns beat any fuking version of Duran.
Montreal Duran
New York Duran
Philly Duran
Mars Duran

any version would have been brutally knocked out by Hearns. Hearns was just a stlyes nightmare for certain fighters.
