Duran is considered the best lightweight ever for a reason. I think he would stalk Pernell down and do work on him in spurts. Pernell would fight too negative to get a decision vs Duran.

I think with Duran being as solid of a boxer as he was he would connect more and defend better than most.
Hmmmm... it's possible for sure!
I think Pernell would make a guy like Mosley look foolish though.

Agreed! I think Mosley was an ATG lightweight, but I don't fancy his chances against Whitaker!
Re: Duran vs Whitaker, prime vs prime at LW
Yeah nothing against Shane, but his style would be something that played to Whittaker's best attributes. I think the more you load up on punches then the more you play into Whittaker's hands.Agreed! I think Mosley was an ATG lightweight, but I don't fancy his chances against Whitaker!

Mosley always did load up on his punches. But at Lightweight he had the hand speed to get away with it. I think Mosley would take it on pointsYeah nothing against Shane, but his style would be something that played to Whittaker's best attributes.

Re: Duran vs Whitaker, prime vs prime at LW
Whitaker wins a decision, underrated toughness and his pure boxing ability helps him win in a close but clear decision. Duran was a tough SOB but he could be outboxed and I think Whitaker would have just enough pop at LW to allow him to box Duran over 15. Now that being said I wouldn't be suprised if Whitaker gets dropped 1 or 2 times late to lose a close decision or even get tko'd but at 135 I just don't see that happening. Pernell is the man @135 IMO
If you think you can......you can, if you think you can't .......you're right!
