Duran-Sweet Pea Whitaker @ 135

Duran couldn't walk down a guy like Viruet, a slicksrer with nowhere near the game or skill or Whitaker. Duran handled slick movers the worst in any case, not just in the higher weights.

 

Exactly the example I used :yep

Pea is always underrated in this matchup, strange considering the stylistic matchup, and the evidence of Duran struggling against lesser fighters that frustrate him

 

An old ass, depleted Chavez went the distance and got a draw. The MONSTER that Duran was at Lightweight would have been faster of hand and of foot, slicker, and craftier, equally as far as defense and just fast enough to hit the **** out of Whitaker, and take a UD.

 

Duran, probably by late rounds KO

 

Duran by very vicious knockout.

 

Whitaker the boxer would out box Duran the puncher.
Duran the boxer would not out box Whitaker the boxer.
Whitaker by decision.

 

This is about as even a fight as they come. Woulda been brilliant. Of all the hypothetical matches that could be made this is one I would want to see the most.

 

Sweet Pea because duran wont lay a glove on him!

 

Whitaker close UD.

I would go with Duran at the higher weights.

 

could go either way. would be won on a razor thin SD.

 

Duran was an absolute animal, he would have came at whitaker full bore. Whitaker's defence wouldn't be to effective against that type of unblunted aggression

 

most probably the 2 best lightweights ever h2h think sweet pea edges duran he was that good.

 

50/50 fight .... But for sure a better fight Duran vs. Whitaker than Whitaker vs. Chavez//// I respect Chavez... But he still the second or third best latin fighter ever....Duran 1st... for ever...

 

Many are saying "Well Duran is the greatest lightweight of all time so he wins!"

Maybe hs is, but stylistically, Whitaker beats Duran no prob.

 

Duran would win because wiggling your hips, squatting, running away from your opponent, and acting like a clown doesn't beat a great fighter like Duran. Duran KO within 5.
