Both in prime - I think Tszyu would nick it.

Tszyu was a great fighter, but he wouldn't deal with prime Duran. He lacked an elusiveness for such a monster Duran was.

Duran is one of the worst possible matchups for Tszyu actually. Tszyu as we saw in his two losses could be shut down when guys got on the inside, didn't give him room to punch, and would just get in his chest, and beat him up in close.

Well Hatton and Vince Phillips ain't got sh*t on the great Robeto Duran when it comes to inside fighting.

In short. I think Duran would beat the sh*t out of Tszyu, and stop him around the 10th or 11th.

Really bad matchup for Kostya.

Duran by KO 9-11. He would be a nightmare for Tszyu. Duran would outfight him and stop.
