As much as I love Alexis Arguello he would be way under sized for Duran at Lightweight. Duran was knocking out middle weights and super middleweights even at the end of his career. Duran was a murderous punch and a brilliant boxer.

Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather Jr & Oscar didn't have the punch at 135 to dent Duran chin so he wouldn't respect there power. Shane would come the closest but still I don't see him beating Roberto.

Besides the greatest lightweight of all time was Benny Leonard. Ray Arcel trained both fighters during there primes and he said Benny was the better boxer and would have beaten Duran. I agree SweetPea would have also beaten Duran.
Shane knocked out all but two opponents. And Duran is probably second most overrated fighter in history IMO. Sweet pea and Shane would kick the shit out of Duran. And floyd would circle and and out box him.

I really don't give passes to the old guys just because they were good first. Duran was good. But Sweet Pea, SHane, and Floyd were and are better boxers than he was.
