    Duran vs Vasiliy Lomachenko @ 135lbs
    Duran vs Manny Pacquiao @ 147lbs
    Duran vs Floyd Mayweather Jr @ 147lbs
    Duran vs Aaron Pryor @ 140lbs
    Duran vs Alexis Arguello @ 135lbs
    Duran vs Julio Cesar Chavez @140lbs

    Duran at his best ko's all of them with exception of
    Chavez and Pryor at 140. Though he beats
    them by ud.

    The Montreal Duran beats them all, only Chavez makes it the full distance.

    Hard matches to call.
    IMO Duran definitely beats Kostya Tszyu. And I don't ever see him beating FMJ.
    As for the rest, Duran might win them all, but might as well lose them all.

    I think OLDH makes as well he had size, skills and great whiskers but not longevity

    No he does not. He'd have to land first, and as elusive as FMJ is, I don't see Duran doing that.

    What a **** take. Dont think Duran KOs Floyd since he has a good chin, but he wins a UD all the same.

    If Floyd got that much trouble against only decent enough pressure fighters like Castillo and Maidana im very sure that an ATG Roberto Duran would land a lot. Unless your bias blinds you of course

    Yes, Duran will give him a lot of trouble, but is not the same as saying he KO's him.
