    Just resume, it's very top heavy with Buchanan, De Jesus, Ishimatsu and Fernandez, with the rest of his 135 comp being very replaceable. All the guys above him either have far better depth, or in the case of McFarland, outclass his best wins (Welsh x2 is crazy work).

    H2H I think Duran is better than all of them, his only real threats that might genuinely take the W at Lightweight are Pernell Whitaker and Ike Williams due to stylistic reasons. But in a vacuum, I think he's better than both. Whitaker is really close though, he's like my 5th best fighter ever to Duran's 2nd or 1st (Robinson being the other choice for number 1).
