Good fight, tough to call due to the weight. I lean towards Conteh cause Sugar wasn't a puncher.

If we're talking about the Conteh who fought at 187 lbs until 1973, before he moved to light-heavyweight, then he'd win handily. The prime Conteh was too slick, too fast, and too good a combination puncher to lose to DeLeon.

On the other hand, if you're asking about the 1980 version of Conteh, when he put on weight in preparation for a campaign at cruiserweight, then it could go either way. The post-1979 Conteh was a slower, vulnerable version of his former self.
