You can only watch one of these Duran fantasy match ups...

Mayweather.

I think Duran and Mayweather are the two most skilled boxers the world has ever seen.

 

Whitaker. I think he's the best of the rest outside of Robinson in terms of ability on film. But I think the style match up is more interesting. Duran never had to face such defensive ability.

Honourable mention to Armstrong, which would be the exact opposite. Can Duran's superior technical skill beat the most relentless pressure machine ever ?

 

Duran v Robinson at 147 followed by Duran v Armstrong at 135. I do think that Duran v Canzoneri would be a fascinating battle, though.

 

Duran-Chavez Sr at 135 for me.

 

Probably Whitaker.

Duran-Armstrong would make for a better action fight, but since I’ve seen more of Whitaker and Mayweather, I’d probably be more interested in seeing him face those 2. I would be more invested since I watched Pea and Floyd during their careers.

Duran-Whitaker is also close to a pick-em matchup for me, so that also helps.

 

Canzoneri... what a fight that would be.

 

Sorry but I would like to see him against Chavez Sr. The only person on this list i question him beating is Robinson. 50/50 for me. He beats the rest IMO. I have him beating Chavez as well but it's the styles that would make it the most interesting for me

 

I’m going with Stone Hands vs Sweet Pea.

Since we can only watch one, will you other guys file reports on how the fantasy matchup you got to see went?

 

Chavez or Pryor.

 

The only fighter on your list capable of beating
Robinson if he's close to his best would be
Duran if he's properly trained and focused.
Robinson also was wreckless enough to
try and impose his will on Duran, which
would almost guarantee a exciting fight.

Other fighters not mentioned would
be Duran vs Chavez Sr. or
Aaron Pryor both of these fighter's
would have a better chance against
him than May jr, who I seriously doubt
would get with in a mile of a boxing ring
against him if he thought he'd lose.

 

I think he’d beat Mayweather, Whitaker and Canzoneri.
Robinson and Armstrong would be wars, I’d go with Robinson closely followed by Hank

 

Duran and Armstrong would be a car wreck. Duran's boxing ability carries the day vs Hank. They would both get hit but Armstrong would catch too many clean ones.

 

The version of Duran that fought Sugar Ray Leonard in Montreal vs the Sugar Ray Robinson of late 1940's vintage would be a fight I'd easily fork over $500.00 for a quality seat to witness live! I can't see that being anything other than an all-time classic!!
