Duran vs His Successors

[buzzsaw]

Roberto Duran was stripped of his WBA 154lb title, how would he have done vs his successor Mike McCallum? 1990 he vacated WBC 160lb title, how would he have done vs his successor Julian Jackson?

................Loses (badly) to McCallum, and KO's Jackson.

Duran would have to be at his absolute fired up best like against Moore. This Duran i slightly favour over Jackson and i make even with McCallum, maybe. Anything less and McCAllum scores an easy points win with Jackson being even a chance of stoppage.

Duran had the knack of positioning his body in a way that made it a difficult target to attack. SRL was planning on going downstairs in Montreal, but Roberto's slanted posture made this problematic. McCallum would not have likely been able to perform his typical downstairs assault.

However, McCallum loved using SRR's films as instructional material, greatly admiring how Robby put combinations together. As ring savvy as Duran was, this would have been a fascinating distance matchup. If in peak condition, Duran takes the decision, but in peak condition, Duran would not have been above the WW limit. At 154, this one's a toss-up depending on Duran's motivation.

Duran-Jackson would be a rendition of Duran-Cuevas.

Well done, Duedenum.

Inspired Duran barely gets by McCallum, and KOs Jackson.

What is more likely giving the historical record is a UD loss to both but especially McCallum.

Duran had a bad habit of underestimating foes based on skewed perceptions. He really did write off Hearns as a "chicken" after the Leonard stoppage. Stepping into the ring against Leonard while in poor condition tells me that his brain didn't always function right.

I like Duran by Decision over McCallum,Ko over Jackson.

Duran looses a SD against McCallum and is 50/50 against The Hawk
