Some challengers to Robert Duran's Title as ATG Lightweight

[jdonaher1]

Oscar was just a kid when he fought at Lightweight and was not anywhere near the complete fighter he became at Welterweight. He was a one handed fighter at Lightweight and fought a lot of Jr. Lightweights coming up for a payday. He was dropped a few times by club fighters as well.

Floyd only had a few fights at Lightweight and one of them he lost IMO (1st fight with Castillio). If he couldn't handle Castillios pressure how is he gonna deal with Durans?

Like I said Mosley is the guy who comes closest. He's never been KO'd so he's got the chin, he was still throwing combo's at 135, was an excellent boxer and always came to fight. He comes closest. If they fight a best of five I say it's 2-2-1 with all fights close.

Castillo didn't apply the kind of pressure Floyd likes, he loves when you come in throwing punches, which DUran does, Castillo didn't do that, he came with a little head movement and let FLoyd back up into the ropes before he would throw his punches. I think Mayweather as he showed agianst Hatton deals with hungrier pressure better than slow methodical pressure.
