If he struggled with Castillo, Duran would demolish him.
I think you underestimate fighters today... Mosley and Dela hoya where both as strong as Duran, and both were faster, and more skilled as fighters... Mosley hasn't been seriously hurt minus the time from the head but, and Oscar wasn't even knocked out by Bernard Hopkins who hits way harder than Duran would have just be sheer size and strength. Also do you remember Esteban De Jesus one of the few ligitimate fighters Duran faced at lightweight? He was floored twice by this guy, and Jesus couldn't hit as hard as Mosley or Oscar at lightweight... Castillo had alot better head movement faster feet, and better timing than Duran when he fought Mayweather also he came in without throwing punches which threw Mayweather off, but Duran would come in with a punch and Mayweather would easily counter him all night.
u mention about duran getting floored twice by de jesus what about mosley getting floored twice by vernon forrest and got whooped twice by him duran was master tactician watch his fight with barkley and barkley hit harder than hopkins duran is tough sob he would keep coming for mayweather duran is legend great fighter and i reckon he would beat mayweather and other guys u mentioned hell even oscar was floored by whitaker and whitaker wasnt real hard puncher by any means and it wasnt prime whitaker
