    Duran has a good chance at 154. Survives and loses on points at 160 and gets stopped at 168.

    Canelo will definitely win against Duran... 35 yo Duran whose ballooned up to Canelos natural 160-168lb weight and with a 3 week training camp

    154 would be close either way, Duran could out work him on points

    I don't think Duran beats him above

    If Duran was around nowadays Canelo would make him balloon up to 168lbs, then fight him after he's partied for 4 months straight and give him a 2 week training camp

    Canelo wins in all of them. Duran gives him a tough time at 154.

    Well if were talking about the best versions of Duran at these weights I see the Duran who beat Moore beating the living crap outta Canelo. At 160 I think Duran's defense will make it harder for Canelo to hit him and I could see Roberto taking a close decision, I mean Duran lost a close fight to Hagler over 15 rounds and ginger's stamina wouldn't hold up in a 15 round tussle. At 168 Duran has no chance against many fighters, geez that's virtually the light heavyweight division for a natural lightweight

    I think Clenelo at 160 and above is problematic for Duran. At 154 Duran I think should be favoured; I reckon he'd take Canelo's hamster sized gas tank and blow a big hole in it. At heavier weights Canelo not only hits like a truck but also has a much better stamina.
