Duran from Leonard 1. Up against a guy many consider the greatest welterweight ever, at the top of his game, and Duran was simply better. I wouldn't ever bet against that Duran, no matter who he fought.
Was thinking about this the other day, coincidence...
it's Hagler vs Sibson for me (Hagler's best performance IMO, Sibson would have been a good champ, and Hagler took him to pieces)
Tyson-Spinks and Louis-Schmeling II are worth thinking about, but perhaps there's too little evidence to make an assertive claim.
And this is all P4P. Obviously.
Muhammad Ali from 1964-1967.
If he hadn't had his lecense taken from him and been forced into 3 1/2 years of exile, which dimished his skills a bit, there's no telling when he would have lost. He was, in his prime, unbeatable. I'm sorry. I don't see any fighter beating a prime Ali. The Ali that fought Cleveland Williams in 1966 was the perfect fighter. Crazy speed and accuracy, amazingly quick feet, combos, good power. He had it all.

Roy Jones in his prime during the 90's as well.

Mayweather at 130 lbs, especially the night he fought Corrales was close as well.
