    I think Shane vs Duran would be amazing. That said, Shane was never as slick as Ray Leonard but IMO I think he was a bit more rough than SRL....I just don't see how Shane outmuscles or out hustles Duran. I think Whittaker or Benny Leonard are the only guys with a shot at Duran at lightweight, he was just that special.

    Mosley vs Trinidad is a fight I ALWAYS wanted to happen and honestly I don't know how it ends up. Tito had big power, but could he land like Vernon Forrest did or keep covered like Winky Wright. Shane is quicker than Vargas was and had a better chin...it's a really good matchup.

    I don't think anybody stands up to Duran at lightweight either. Probably the most dominant fighter ever at a specific weight. Mosley-Trinidad.... I've always been a huge Mosley fan also... but I don't think it's a done deal he'd beat Trinidad. Mosley had trouble consistently with Forrest, and Trinidad hit harder than Forrest. Intriguing matchup.

    The only people I see challenging him are the likes of Gans, Leonard, Armstrong and Floyd at 135.

    Lopez 2 unproven 2b even favored over Gonzalez if u meant Humberto
    Not Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez.

    I'm talking about Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez.
