    Duran with the edge in versatility, Abraham vastly bigger and stronger. Duran did pretty well against Hagler who was much better than Abraham, then again Abraham destroyed the guy who twice beat Hopkins. Who wins and how?

    I say Abraham TKO 11

    Duran by decision, 12 - 0. Arabham isn't even competitive.

    Since on fight night, Abraham would be a light heavyweight, I'd favor him

    It doesn't matter what Abraham weighs on fightnight since he doesn't throw any fucking punches. Duran beats the shit out of that spaz

    Agreed. He could weigh 200 pounds, he'd still get dominated.

    It's the best fighter ever against a walking heavybag.

    The Duran who was winning rounds against Hagler beats AA, without question.

    I hate Duran with the fire of 2 suns. Still, it is insulting to the dirt bag peasant to suggest, one of the worst belt holders in history deserves to sniff his shit. The Armenian sloth would throw maybe six punches with that third world homo constantly raping him, grabbing and clinching. Duran 12-0 even in Germany.

    AA sucks way too much to beat Duran. His power wouldn't help him in this one either.

    I guess its possible that Duran wins by virtue of being a zillion times better... I'll concede that

    Because Abraham weighs about 175lb in the ring and Duran was 1009 y/o by the time he weighed anything over 160. Willie Pep vs Ben Tackie? Eder Jofre vs Jorg Solis? Hut's just not diggin' it.
