i think its important to note that during the fight, Duran turned SSJ1 a fair few rounds before Leonard did.

I think Arcel must have had Duran do his training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber ahead of Leonard I. How else could he attain that power level in such a short space of time?
By the very definition peaking would mean you would go down hill from that very point. So, with that being said it had to be the Leonard fight because he never performed at that same level again.
Not particularly - he only picked it up in the last few weeks (indeed there were reports of Arcel threatening to leave camp because Duran was refusing to do roadwork in the mornings)
