Two fighters who are tough as nails. Duran in a slugfest KO round 8. Since they are middleweights the result would be considered an upset! Would be an exciting fight. Good one Toughguy!

Dick Tiger. Duran fought a few good fights at middleweight whereas Dick was a natural middleweight. Dick fought some really tough men in that division and came out on top, Gene Fulmer was one. A very strong man.

D. Tiger - W 61 (KO's 27) TF 81 - W pct 75% - KO pct 33% - wins over Fullmer{2}, Giardello[2] R. Carter and Torres{2} KO'ed by B. Foster - #31 ranked fighter
Titles at 160 and 175
Duran - W 103 (KO's 70) TF 119 - W pct 87% - KO pct 58% - wins over Leonard, Buchanan, Cuevas, D. Moore and Palomino KO'ed by Leonard (Duran quit in the ring), Hearns and W. Joppy - #28 ranked puncher - #5 ranked fighter
Arguably the greatest Lt wt of all-time
Won titles at 135, 147,154 and 160
Always remember that styles make a fight. Duran would have been moving up to fight a natural middle wt. Dick Tiger was better than D. Moore and Barkley whom Duran beat. Tiger out lasted Fullmer and the "Hurricane" and outboxed Giardello and Torres. Tiger in a majority decision.
