I personally think he would have beaten Duran (Prime v Prime) as I see him frustrating Duran the way Leonard did in "NO MAS", but don't see him beating Tommy Hearns as I think that Hearns' height and skill coupled with that freakish punch power would have caused him serious trouble and I see Hearns as one of the only men in welterweight history that could knock a prime Floyd out. As for him struggling against people who don't compare to Hearns, Duran, Hagler and Benitez I think that DLH is certainly in that league. Im not saying Oscar would have beaten any of them but he would have certainly been no pushover and i would see him taking them all the distance (with the exception of the natural middleweight Hagler who probably would have stopped him) and losing close competitive fights.
