When Duran quit it was outta frustration, cause Sugar Ray wouldnt trade with him. Tszyu quit cause he's a front runner who cant handle pressure, and adversity. I dont think he gets the chance to quit vs Duran though. Roberto knocks him out within 8 rounds.
Duran loved to come forwards, clinch his opponents and push them backwards. Tszyu was stronger than him so wrestling would be out of Duran's game. Duran also was a sucker for a right hand and few fighters had as crisp, accurate and hard cross as Tszyu. He would punish Duran throughout.
Tszyu stronger than Duran?:laughing: Ive heard it all now. Duran man handled Davey Moore physically at 154, and Moore was an imposing jnr middle. He also man handled Leonard in the first fight, and Ray was pretty strong his damn self. Theres no way in hell Tszyu is stronger than Duran.
Duran didn't manhandle Leonard at all. He pulled out a one-point victory in a fight where Leonard willingly fought on his terms. Duran was a natural lightweight who did pretty well against bigger guys too, but Tszyu was freakishly strong for a jr. middle. Tszyu was the stronger guy although Duran was the better overall athlete
Tszyu wasnt even stronger than Philips. Sure he manhandled guys like Mitchell, Ruelas, MAG, and Judah, but when did he ever face anything remotely CLOSE to Duran? Hatton, the welfare version of Duran, and Ricky man handled Tszyu. All be it an old Tszyu, but he still physically pushed him around. Tszyu was very strong, probably the SECOND strongest 140 pounder ever(Pryor being the first) but I dont see him being stronger than Duran.
Duran would actually do better than Cool Vince and land even more right hands which leads to a clean Lou Bizarro esque KO victory
