    Duran, he's just a better fighter, Duran could take left hooks from iran barkley and while Oscar had a great jab, prime duran could move in an out with his feet and headmovement so i dont think that would really bother him either

    I like DLH chances at 154 and 160 lbs. Below that, Duran would beat him pretty handily.

    Duran would win. Not sure if he knocks him out. Oscar had a tendency to sort of stop taking chances and go the distance at times. Duran would push him to that point and farther. At Lightweight Duran would be hard to stay away from. At the heavier weights DelaHoya may be able to lose a decision.

    Oscar could get a W at 154 or 160 against an unmotivated Duran, if he's in Moore or Barkley form he takes it. From 135-147 Duran beats him worse and worse depending how low you go in weight.

    As annoying ol' Fishnets is now, he was a hell of a fighter when he was active. I say Duran, but it wouldn't be easy.

    Duran wins, he was simply a better fighter. And I think Duran would be highly motivated against the popular DLH.

    DLH was a terrific fighter, but Duran was just a level higher. Clear UD or late stoppage.

    Agree that Duran would view Oscar with a little more disdain than most he fought. I think he wins as most any weight, and convincingly so; that said, he lost decisions to worse when not motivated. Oscar wasn't the joke he's viewed as these days.

    Duran by decision but Oscar would give a fine account of himself. The guy could fight.
