    Duran vs Floyd Mayweather Jr @ 147lbs
    Duran vs Aaron Pryor @ 140lbs
    Duran vs Alexis Arguello @ 135lbs
    Duran vs Julio Cesar Chavez @140lbs
    Duran vs Kostya Tszyu @ 140lbs

    Duran at his best ko's all of them with exception of
    Chavez and Pryor at 140. Though he beats
    them by ud.

    The Montreal Duran beats them all, only Chavez makes it the full distance.

    Wins them all, most or perhaps all by decision.

    Hard matches to call.
    IMO Duran definitely beats Kostya Tszyu. And I don't ever see him beating FMJ.
    As for the rest, Duran might win them all, but might as well lose them all.

    No he does not. He'd have to land first, and as elusive as FMJ is, I don't see Duran doing that.

    What a **** take. Dont think Duran KOs Floyd since he has a good chin, but he wins a UD all the same.

    If Floyd got that much trouble against only decent enough pressure fighters like Castillo and Maidana im very sure that an ATG Roberto Duran would land a lot. Unless your bias blinds you of course

    Yes, Duran will give him a lot of trouble, but is not the same as saying he KO's him.
