i agree with you bl that duran could definitely lose in this tourney. i do think that he is the best LW ever but styles make fights and he isnt unbeatable. i remember hearing how ray arcel said that leonard would beat duran (and he trained both fighters)

I'll just fast forward to the finals & put Duran vs Armstrong.
