    Montreal Duran was whatever weight division Crawford weighs 147-150 in the ring.......Duran 9-6 at worst.

    I would favor Montreal Duran by decision, but it would be competitive for sure.

    Crawford is too smart for Duran, who consistently struggled with smart boxers throughout his career.

    Crawford is too big and skilled for Duran to be able to bully and he wouldn't be able to outbox him either so Crawford wins a clear decision.

    Benitez, Hearns, Leonard, Hagler, Wilfred. Crawford is at least Wilfred level

    Agreed. Duran is overrated h2h. Shakur, Crawford, Ennis, Mason would all be favored from 130 to 154

    Nah only Crawford could realistically win. Mason Shakur and Ennis aren't in the running at all

    Duran. There is very little to compare between Duran and Canelo if that's the basis for this scenario. Duran was much faster, much better counter puncher, much, much higher ring IQ. Hell, he probably punched harder, too.

    And not taking away anything from Bud. It would be a great fight.

    He didn’t fight any of those in his prime except Leonard.
    He wasn’t outsmarted by any of them either, he was outsped by Hearns and Benitez, and Leonard 2. He outsmarted Hagler, Hagler was just stronger and fitter in the championship rounds.
