    Joe Gans was a very slick fighter for his era, he was way ahead of his time but he fought closer to the bare knuckle brawling era so how would he fare against Duran who visually seems a lot more advanced than him in terms of balance and other fundamentals

    Duran wins, and that is NOT a slight on Joe Gans. Duran was an animal at 135.

    Id go with Duran, but without putting any money down.
