    Duran was the better fighter, I don`t think Mosely hit harder than Duran either, he had faster hands but Duran`s hands were pretty fast as well... it`s odd you seem to think Duran`s style would play into Shane`s hands, the same Shane that loved a good brawl & never had the best defense... Duran would feast on Mosely, not without problems but he`d constantly land the better punches & he`d land more of them too.

    One thing about Duran is he could be in a firefight wiyhout taking too many shots himself, clean shots that is.

    Buchanan was one of the most skilled and definitely the toughest man that prime Duran ever fought. Ken deserved a rematch and though he would have probably lost, it would have gone the full 15 rounds IMO.
