Duran walked around at 190lbs+ yet he couldn’t handle 154.

He was fine with Hagler. Fine with Moore. Fine with Barkley. Yet Hearns ripped his head off because of weight? He was scared of Tommy.elmersalsa wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 22:16And that you don't understand why boxing has weight classifications. It is all about the weight.

Fine with Marvelous? He lost to Marvelous! Duran admitted that he couldn't carry the weight for the last 2 or 3 rounds of that fight. His arms got weary and he also broke his right hand.Wee Tommy wrote: ↑15 Mar 2022, 02:13He was fine with Hagler. Fine with Moore. Fine with Barkley. Yet Hearns ripped his head off because of weight?

Davey Moore made the big mistake of trading and slugging with Duran. Well, he was bigger, stronger, faster, taller, younger, in his prime and in his own weight. If Moore would have asked for a rematch, Moore wins. The weight class and age were not suited for Roberto.
Put Hearns at 147lbs and fight the Duran in Montreal and it would have been a sure victory for Duran. That lanky Hearns at 147lbs looked like a guy in starvation. No way he beats Duran. Not with those feeble legs and China chin.
