    Given Duran's workrate (which will match Whitaker's) and power (which surpasses Whitaker's), Whitaker will face a hard time doing enough to get a points win.

    I think the disparity in power (in Duran's favour) will override the disparity in defense (in Whitaker's favour).

    Given Whitaker's style of fighting I think he will have a hard time keeping Duran off him for the same reasons Mantequilla mentioned.

    I don't think you can bring up any of Whitaker's opponents and say they did what Duran would do so as to give us an insight into how Whitaker would fair with Duran.

    Azumah Nelson had a high workrate, and good power, but he didn't have Duran's infighting skills, nor his defense.

    Chavez had good overall skills and power, but he didn't have Duran's speed or his workrate. His defense was a step below Duran's as well.
