    LOL at this turning into a GGG vs Canelo thread. I get it the opinions on GGG vs 1983 Duran are split... Lets move on to discuss my predictions for the other match ups

    The sad thing is that the opinions are split.... it would be a one sided beating

    Duran at his best vs anyone at lightweight I cannot see him losing. He was a one punch ko artist, could fight 15 very fast rounds, quick hands and feet along with excellent boxing ability.

    At welter still a great fighter but less physically dominant. A very hard fighter to beat at this weight at his best.

    Duran did actually lose just one fight at 147. I think people sometimes get mixed up with some of his 154 action.

    He was consistent in his short stint at 147 and the wins over SRL and Palomino carry a lot of clout.
