Duran vs Whitaker

At what weight?

 

I would pick Whitaker, I think he could frustrate Duran by taking it to long range and using his wheels. Duran was not the best at cutting the ring off either imo.

I think Whitaker was a better fighter than Duran, controversial, but its how I feel, I hold Whitaker in that high of a regard, although it doesn't bother me if others think Duran was better, they were both great.

 

At LW? Duran.

 

Whittaker was a brilliant fighter and no doubt he would have some sucess against Duarn, but ultimately there would be a huge disparity in physical stregnth and power. Duran would be ably to fight his fight and keep the momentum with him for 75% of the fight. I like Duran by close, but comfortable decision.

 

Whitaker. Duran never liked a defensive cutie; and Pea's the divisions best.

 

Duran, that's obvious

 

He handed SRL his ring piece....please!!!!!!!

 

right, and benitez who is way more like pea schooled duran so your point is?

boxer=/=defensive cutie

 

Whitaker

 

Whitaker by a the narrowest of margins.

 

At his most motivated Duran was capable of beating anyone from lightweight to welter. Duran is a true ATG.

Pea was a great boxer and its a close fight, but prime Duran finds a way to outwork him every time.

 

Duran. What a dream fight this is!!!!

 

Benitez, like Duran, was his own worst enemy. When motivated, he was a defensive wizard.

That said, Benitez, as good as he was, was no Sweet Pea.

 

Whitaker by UD

Duran had a weakness against runners and people faster than him at LW. Whitaker was both.
