Roberto Duran would’ve had the edge over Vasiliy Lomachenko, according to a retired fighter.
At his peak, ‘Hi-Tech’ was utterly sensational to watch, with the athlete bamboozling his opponents with his remarkable movement and shot selection.
Lomachenko obliterated Roman Martinez with a huge shot, finished Nicholas Walters, and won world titles in three weight divisions.
However, in the eyes of a brawler, ‘Hands of Stone’ would’ve had more than enough to handle him.

In a debate with his son uploaded to the Mad Dog Boxing Store, TikTok page, Elcock made his stance clear.
The former world title challenger, said: “Loma is good, Loma dances. But I’m going to go with Duran. He destroys.”
