    DURAN- when i became a fan he was on top no one can beat him at his best DELAHOYA-i have to put him here cuz hes only a morning roadwork from were i grew up(about 6miles from EAST LA to ROSEMEAD,CA - plus he was awesome and i dont understand why hes hated no fighter has fougt better opposition since the Duran,Leonard,Hearns Hagler era. SANCHEZ- A fighter that had the potential to be within top 5 of atg just a perfect fighter with no weakneass at his best. After this I cant really pick anyone cuz i dont wanna slight the other its like i thougt of Ali,Barrera,Tyson,Tapia,Chacon,LOPEZ,Arguello( my 3 other favorties as a young fan) Also HEARns i can name like 30 more figthers who I could switch to put in my top 10. How can I forget Chavez :patsch just too many to put into 5. But my top 3 are Solid picks.

    Very nice picks. A Wlad fan with taste, seems contradictory. Why Wilde?

    Depends at what weight? Nobody beats Duran anywhere near lightweight. At WW i reckon the fight would be quite similar to the fights with SRL (1&2).

    If Duran was fit (not putting on 80 pounds between fights) I think he'd take it. He'd get frustrated by sweet pea's movements at the start of the fight but I just can't see anyone getting away from Duran for a whole 15 rounds though, not in his prime.

    ALTHOUGH WHITTAKER COULD MAKE THE BEST OF THEM MISS BY STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU. HE COULDNT DO THAT WITH DURAN:nono DURAN AT LIGHTWEIGHT WAS FAST ENOUGH,AND HIS INSIDE GAME WAS GREAT ENOUG TO NOT ALLOW SWEAT PEA TO STAY IN FRONT OF HIM.ALSO DURAN HAD THE STYLE TO TURN WHITTAKER INTO A RUNNER,WHICH WOULD HAVE TURNED OFF THE JUDGES,DURAN BY BORING BUT SOMEWHAT CONVINCING DECISION KINDA LIKE OSCAR AND SWEAT PEA BUT MORE CONVINCING.
