Not pound for pound king, but he would have been the No.1 Lightweight in the world.
You can bet he would have stayed put at Lightweight and cleared it, because stepping up was a formidable task.

Agreed but who were the Lightweight kings in the 80's?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Duran was finishing up at Lightweight. It's unlikely they would have crossed paths.Originally Posted by Master
Chavez and Camacho would have been outclassed.
Sugar Shane Mosely came along in the early nineties....
had his first championship in 1994.

I would be rooting for JCC against Mayweather at Lightweight, and the greats above this weight Pryor, Hearns and Leonard would beat Mayweather if he decided to fight them. He probably would have settled for Comacho and Rosario, good but not great.
