    KO Duran at his best. Let's keep this to guys that fought at 135 and 140. Who do you pick to get the job done? You may not think they have a good chance. But if you had to wager it, who do you pick to get it done?

    Pea's not knocking out Duran. Might beat him but he's not knocking him out. Maybe Ike Williams.

    Pea would never come close to knocking out Duran.

    KO? Either Tsyzu or Pacquiao. I'd say they have the best chance of knocking him out.

    And by that I mean, their chances are still slim as all hek

    Probably Pacquiao, he has good power at the weight, an aggressive style and the work rate needed to grind Duran down. Big ask for anyone though.

    I'd give Mosley a slightly better shot than Pacquiao, because at 135 I believe he was faster and more powerful.

    Maybe Arguello and that straight right hand. But I don't think it's a fight Alexis would win. But that kind of punch is what it'd take.

    Probably have to go back in time to the greats of the 20's and 30's realistically. Maybe Bert can chime in on this.
