How does a prime Duran do against the current top fighters of LW and WW? Would guys like Loma, Haney, Lopez, Crawford, Porter, Spence, Garcia, or even an old Pac have any chance at all against the best version of Duran?
They all lose. He probably has most trouble with Crawford IMO. But Montreal Duran gets them all. Shame he was inconsistent at 147. Reagrdles, he ****in beat prime Leonard. Duran would wipe through today's 135, including Loma after a major tense cagey opener. I've wrote about this before, but the styles don't mesh. He would actually do a little bit better against 1978 Duran than the 1972 / 73 version, who absolutely would maul him. I wrote here (as a response to another user)
Lol @ Porter being a tough fight for Duran. Duran would beat up Porter twice as bad as he did Palomino.
Beats them all comfortably, some of them brutally. Duran versus De Jesus III, Palomino, Leonard I, just to name a few, are the highest level of boxing you can get. Up there with ANYBODY ever. Nobody now could compete close with that.
Porter is going to impose his fight on anyone he chooses to do so with. Unless his opponent has 1 punch ko power I can only see it being an extremely dirty affair.
I agree with RD that he probably has the toughest time with Crawford. Loma is too small, and not physically strong enough nor durable enough for Duran. Duran would destroy Loma if I'm being honest... much easier than the Loma groupies wanna admit.
Hey dikhead, Loma would not beat him as badly as the fierce Tank Davis. Of course, I don’t mean prime Duran, I mean present day Roberto. Tank likes fighting old guys, don’t give him any ideas.
