Chavez was nothing more than an antiques dealer.

What round?? There's more chance of Chavez winning Miss Latin America than there is of a stoppage in this one.

After 15 of the most gruelling, intense, and exciting rounds imaginable (for a fan of bone-juddering infighting), Duran is awarded a solid and convincing UD around 10-5. Chavez impressed with his bravery and resilience, but his face looks like the surface of Mars.

bare in mind that duran was KD'd by DeJesus and lost to him on another occasion , so it really is not that easy.
both were stoppable. although hard to , at their best weights.

Agree with this. I think Duran's footspeed could be a decided factor. Duran certainly could fight on the inside with Chavez but would have an edge from long range (atlhough Chavez's boxing abillity gets underrated). Tough, amazing fight. 9-6ish Duran.

Duran was better than Chavez at EVERYTHING. But what really sets them apart is speed. Duran had by FAR the faster hands, and would beat Chavez in exchanges all night.

I'm not comvinced it's as clear cut as some think!!! Chavez at this weight was a monster...and a big puncher. Duran was also droppable and while I don't see Chavez stopping him, I can see JCC winning a decision because of a couple of kd's.

Duran has the ability to win this, but it would largley depend upon how he fights stylistically. It wouldn't shock me to see him fight Chavez fight.

Frankenfrank...."both stoppable". Really!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I think this was actually Chavez's best weight. He didnt stay long but if he did he would have been a top 3 lt wt of all time. I think Chavez is one of the most accurate punchers ever. This would be a close fight with Durans Superior speed the differance,But this fight would go the distance for sure just cuz Duran gets dropped by Dejesus dont think his chin wasnt Iron it was! Chavez had one of the greatest chins in history so knockout is out the question here. Id go with by 144-142 145-141 144-142 duran

:patsch Man your comments never seem to amaze me. Stoppable by who? As far as Duran getting dropped,so what? Just about everyfighter has been dropped,and getting dropped by Dejusus a HOF and very good puncher is nothing to be ashamed of,Duran beat him the next 2 times. I just got done with you on your talk about Mccall,Tua,Byrd being atg:patsch HEy:rasta:rasta Good Sh*t ha:lol:

I consider this to be a match between the two best lightweights in history. Both in their prime, I have to believe Duran outboxes Chavez. Duran was a master boxer approaching the level of a Robinson. Chavez was a superb boxer, too, and a devastating puncher. But Duran edges it over 15.

Duran has a few too many facets in this match of great vs great.

Duran in a one sided UD. 11-4 or 10-5. Chavez's face would look like minced beef by the end of it.

Duran's activity at 135 would have been too much for Chavez.

You have your history wrong, sir. Duran was knocked down, not out by dejesus. Granted He did lose the first fight but he won the following 2 fights.

Durans greater all-around ability and defense makes the difference in this one. Duran by late round tko.

This would be a tough fight. Duran was a monster at Lightweight, but so was Chavez. JCC was also just as fast as Duran at LW. People act like Duran was a speed demon, and he wasn't. He just threw a lot of punches. JCC was very similar in that he threw loads of punches and threw them where he could hurt you. Neither of these guys were one punch knockout artists. This bout could truly go either way, but I would give it to Duran because of his superior defense.

if you know anything about boxing you should know that NOBODY KO Prime JC ... 135 was the peak of JCC .... and nobody in earth would KO him, not even Duran ....

I thought Chavez was a better combination puncher, and I think they are pretty much even in the punch resistance area. The better body puncher, that could have also gone to Chavez, conceivably.

Duran would win because his hands would reach the target first, and he can go toe to toe with anyone at Lightweight for 15 rounds just fine. It would be an immense war, and Chavez ain't getting knocked out. Throw Alexis Arguello in the ring as well, and Chavez would still see the distance.

I can't see this fight being easy like some. Many would disagree but IMO Chavez would be the best 135 Duran ever faced.

The macho would come out in both fighters and it would be a classic war. I just feel Duran does everything Chavez does but better. He also has better foot movement and can box better on the outside if he needs to. I would see Chavez being stopped on cuts or on his feet around the 9th round.
