@147 I think Khan totally befuddles Duran for 8 rounds and almost has Duran at "No Más" territory, before a pep-talk from Arcel finds Duran, pulling out a late stoppage....Khan, trapped on the ropes.
Speed kills. Sure Duran is stronger and ferocious but he won't be able to cope with the fact that Khan's hands are fast enough to hit him at will, while his punches won't get there in time.
One of the most one sided fights in boxing history. Given what a homeless man's pressure fighter impersonator like Peterdude could accomplish, just imagine what THE Duran would do. He'd molest and abuse Khan in brutal, 1 sided fashion.
Not if Khan is ultra-careful and steadily pepper's the shorter, lesser reached Duran. It's okay to say Duran would pressure Khan to an early grave....but not so easy when he's taking 3-4 shots incoming.
Khan would just be unable to prevent Duran from getting inside. That's the fight in a nutshell. Duran via 3rd round TKO.
Anyone who thinks Khan has no chance...go and re-watch Kirkland Laing beating a prime Duran at 147. A drunk, drug-crazed Laing, with superior skills, handspeed and footwork, making the Panamanian tosser look like a fraud.
