    Kalambay would win a UD
    Nunn would score a TKO in about 7
    Taylor would win a decision
    Norris would be stopped at 154.
    Mike McCallum would win by late stoppage
    Duran would stop Margarito like he did Moore. a Wipe out. the style Duran loves

    Cotto would have not chance against Duran. He likes to brawl too much and Duran loves that style. either weight.
    Manny would win. Fast hands and speed are what befuddles Duran. UD. all weights. the higher the weight the more Manny looks quick.
    Julian would score a 4th round knockout.
    Duran would beat Pavlik by decision.
    Duran could beat Lamotta. Guys like that Duran can beat.
    Robinson shuts out Duran easily.
    Duran would expose Judah's chin.
    Locche decision over Duran. Easier than people would think.
    Duran would stop Taylor. Taylor got hit too much even in his wins. With each jump in weight Taylor is stopped sooner.
    Chavez would be a war.. Very even. Duran was better infighting but Chavez a better boxer I think and Duran might edge it lower, but Chavez at 140. I do not see the weights making much of a difference really. I still believe Hearns would stop Duran at ww, just more like a 4th round knockout and maybe tko.

    Yes, Cotto, the most undeservably **** on fighter of all time. Who's resume is completely stacked fighting and defeating, outboxing and in wars pulling through, everyone put infront of him. Losing to only a man who watched his father eat his pet dog and a man literally made of concrete. Cotto on the back foot would outbox and frustrate him all night

    While I do agree that Cotto seems to be always on the short end of the stick in the Gen forum, I really can't seem him beating Duran.

    His defense isn't too good, he seems to have a problem against steady pressure fighters with great chins, and fades in the later rounds of a fight.

    Duran would beat him badly.

    Even though i think duran is overrated, it would be better to keep fantasy matchups at 135-147, 154-160 makes no sense because you are asking how he would do in his mid 30s.

    Didn't Roach change his mind a month or two later?

    Probably. He seems to change his mind depending on who he's talking to.
