    Default How does Duran fair against these Welterweights?

    If you consider Duran's general aptitude at Welterweight; how would you think he fairs against the Welterweight versions of:

    • Jose Napoles?
    • Donald Curry?
    • Miguel Cotto?


    I think these are all very close fights either way but just keep to see if anyone here has considered these potential match up's before and if not, how do you see them going?

    Duran in prime condition beats all 3 , god was that man a great fighter do I miss him
    imagine him today fighting this lot that's about, he would just frighten them to death.
    Roberto had a great defence, exceedingly good at slipping punches, only guy that put
    him to sleep was Tommy, something Marvin could not do.
    I loved the 80s watching all them great fighters, I was in my prime(if I had one) it
    was a great decade.

    Duran was a great fighter at lightweight, he fought a great fight at welterweight against Leonard but he was not a great welterweight.

    At his best on that night maybe he beats these fighters but if it was the one that showed up against Kirkland Lang?

    Curry would outbox him.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He was a person who really did enjoy his work. I think he stops them in one way or another, he was born to fight.
    He did stick around too long, like a lot of them do, but I think loved it too much to stop.

    I think Napoles beats him. In my mind Napoles is the second best welter of all time and I think he'd give Robinson all he could handle. Curry, at his peak, was very good and Duran was only a very good welter on one night. I think Duran would beat Cotto more times than not.
