    Duran would be too much for Tito at 147... The Duran who beat Leonard probably stops Tito, or wins a comfortable decision... I'd give Tito a better shot at 154 or 160 cause he's naturally bigger, but it would still be tough for Tito...

    Duran by decision. Not picking him by KO because Tito was only KOd by an ATG middleweight so I think he could last the whole 12 rounds.

    Duran by KO in the later rounds at welterweight.

    Duran close UD above welterweight

    Duran rapes Tito at any weight, even middle. The Duran who took Hagler 15 and edged Barkley would outfight the mw Tito IMO. The Duran who beat SRL at 147 would obliterate him.

    Sorry El-M!!

    Only Hearns was able to stop Duran close to his prime. And the other guys who beat him on points (Leonard and Benitez) were slick boxers.

    I'd say Duran's mind games combined with Tito's come forward style will result in a highly entertaining and spectacular win for Cholo.

    Duran was not at his prime when he fought Hearns. He had to lose 20lbs. in four weeks to make weight. He was stupid, but definitely not in top shape.

    I like Tito in this one No one has ever beat him by coming to him Duran is obviously better at this then anyone, Possibly in history, still think tito would nail him possibly stop him late

    Peak Duran would wreck Tito at 147. The higher up in weight, the better it gets for Tito though, Duran lost a lot of his footspeed when he made the move up to 154 and higher. I'd still take the best versions of Duran at 154 and 160 over Trinidad, but they would be competitive fights, and Tito always has at least a puncher's chance.

    That's true at 154 Tito would have a better change then at 147 not saying he will win but a much better change...

    And at 160 the Tito who **** and beat Joppy in 5 would have also had a great change to beat him...Duran is NO Hopkins nor a very slick Boxer

    Just my option,
