The mega fight was supposed to happen in 1978.

Who wins?

[Nile4000]

Around this time. Duran by UD. 10-5 in rounds.

[Woldemar]

Duran pts

[giacomino]

Same. I would think competitive but fairly wide UD

[DrDuke]

Duran by decision or late stoppage in a competetive and full of action fight.

[scorpio83]

Duran by decision or late stoppage in a competetive and full of action fight.

Same because "The Hands of Stones" was the beast at lightweight.

This fight almost happened in 1978 and then Duran moved up. I see Duran winning a good close decision. At lightweight he was too complete. It would have been good but i believe that The Thin Man is outclassed.

[Nile4000]

Didn't Alexis losing to Vilomar Fernandez affect the Duran fight?

[elmersalsa]

Didn't Alexis losing to Vilomar Fernandez affect the Duran fight?

I think it did.

[AntonioMartin]

Duran by late ko or UD.

Very incredible matchup, but PRIME Duran against a PRIME Arguello favors the brutal Duran.I can see it going much the same way of the Pryor fight, but same result, Duran by K.o, but not before going through hell because Alexis would being hitting Duran with shots that would move the DEVIL!!!!
