    I've wondered what if Duran moved up to welter round 75 and took out a faded Napoles how would things of panned out for him in the welterweight division at that time.

    Roberto Duran was a genuine welterweight just as much as he was a lightweight. It's not like he was a 'blown-up lightweight' at 147.
    He was a hard puncher at both weights.
    His 'natural weight' span was 135 pounds right up to around 153 pounds.
    At FULL middleweight he was a bit 'under-sized' and his power was average against durable middles.

    I think, for me he was a genuine lightweight through the 70's who was that good, he was probably better than the welterweights who were around at that time.
