    Duran would have a very slim chance, but that is all.

    Pryor would also have a good chance, pure aggression and has the pop.

    No to all of these picks except maybe Gans. Whitaker is too fast for Arguello as Sugar Ray Leonard once said "Arguello could never take a boxer"! And being that Chavez's best years were at 130 he wouldn't be able to take Whitaker at 135 like he couldn't At 140!

    Whittaker shatters jersey in the same manner Louis did.

    The Chavez fight was closer than it seemed at the time. I have to see it again.

    I have no problem picking Duran to do it.

    Whitaker doesn't beat Duran at 135.

    His rhythm and movement was exceptional but it wasn't fast enough to stay one foot ahead of Duran.

    He'd drag him into his world just like he done Leonard.
