    The TS said at 147. I have no idea why anyone brings up the 154 version of Duran when it was clear Duran was so hit or miss after he permanently left 147.

    Leonard hit harder then Oscar at welterweight.
    And Leonard was ALOT faster then Oscar at welterweight.
    Leonard moved ALOT better then Oscar could even dream of.
    Leonard would have beaten the hell out of Oscar at welterweight.
    I don't think you realize how fast Leonard was at welterweight- watch his one round destruction of Andy Price or how he almost took Greens head off with that hook.
    Honestly I think Leonard is probably one of the fastest welterweights I've ever seen. For sure in the top 4.
    And he could punch unlike say a Meldrick Taylor who was fast but couldn't hit hard.
    That Duran even was able to deal with that speed and win was amazing to watch.
    You talk all this about Oscars jab yet Mosley jumped up from lightweight and defeated Oscar.
    I like Oscar but your talking levels here and Roberto at his best is simply too much.

    Good point, but Duran was far more two-fisted than DLH.

    lol! DLH was no Benitez, he didn`t fight anything like him, Benitez was far better at slipping shots than DLH, completely different style.

    DLH good fighter but a bit overrated. Sugar Ray all the way.

    Oscar was a very good fighter but Duran was an ATG. Duran no worries.

    He isn't hurting Delahoya.

    Very hard for prediction. My preference, it's Duran.

    Mosley was juiced to the gills and was bigger than Delahoya on fight night. Mosley at his last welterweight fight was around 160 the day of.

    Lampley said it on a broadcast. Don’t care about 135.

    Motivated Duran would likely put DLH away before the final bell.

    Undertrained Duran probably loses on pts.
