I would take Duran by late stoppage if it was a 15 rounder, maybe a UD if it was a 12. At 135 Oscar had tremendous power in his left hook and jab but his chin was a lot softer than at higher weights, I remember him getting dropped quite a few times against less then phenomenal fighters even in the first round. But you also have to remember that at 135 Duran wasnt great at cutting off the ring, watch the Bizzaro fight its almost comical the way he chased after him all the way around the ring round after round. I would give Oscar a few rounds tho, I dont think Duran could outbox Oscar on the outside. Oscar had a very nice jab and would have been 4 inches taller.
go back and watch two fights and then come back and say DLH beats Duran at 135 or 147 1. J. J. Molina vs DLH, Molina with his strength and inside pressure gave Hoya fits at 135. I had John John Molina winning. Duran is the master of the style Molina employed against DLH. Duran is quantum leaps ahead of Molina in the ability to utilize that style. 2. Leanord vs Duran 1,The leanord of Montreal beats the Mosely that beat Hoya twice. Leanord is bigger faster and hit harder than Mosely and Duran had his ass in Montreal.
