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

If he fought at 190lbs, Marvin Camel or Carlos "Sugar" De Leon would have eaten him for dinner.

And that you don't understand why boxing has weight classifications. It is all about the weight.

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.

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.
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.
