    Who takes this, both at their best very best at welterweight? If I could clone people, or, like, make perfect replica androids of people that were exactly like the real people in every conceivable way, I would use this ability to to make clones/replicadroids of boxers and then I would make them fight to see who would win. And if I could only do it one time, this would be one of the my top choices to use up my one and only replicaclonedroid boxing match. I think this would be a super badass fight. Both of these guys were aggressive top 10 Pound for pound talents.

    The Duran of Montreal and Palomino had more experience than Walker possessed at 147, so I like him by the tiniest of margins at this weight. Tomorrow, I could well reverse my opinion though.

    In Montreal, Duran had things pretty well sewn up after ten rounds, and he nearly shut Palomino out over that distance. He'd have no such luck with Mickey, who would fight him tooth and nail every inch of the way. Roberto's head games would be utterly useless here.

    I might pick Roberto for the same reason, though I do rate Walker higher P4P.

    I think Walker is one of the few who could out-Duran Duran. Mostly due to Walker's bigger size. He brought as much tenacity, aggression, more strength and power, a better chin. the only advantage I'd give Duran is a slightly better defence. That's not enough.

    I always was curious to see who would win if she fought Duran.

    Duran UD - better boxer, better defense, more skilled, better speed and offense and still in great shape at this stage
