Whitaker vs Duran - who would win?

I could see Whitaker giving Duran some trouble in the beginning but I think Duran would stop Whitaker in the late rounds with his aggressiveness and punching power.

Duran by TKO.

This would have been a great match up but I see Duran as the eventual winner.

When SRL decided to fight Duran with his speed and agility, what happened?

That is what will happen if Duran fights Whitaker. Whitaker uses his speed and agility, then if he gets you hurt, he goes for the kill. But he uses his speed and agility first and foremost. Duran doesn't like it when people "run away".

I see this happening.....

Whitaker wasn't even as quick as Duran. SRL was 5'10 and had much quicker hands than pea. Pea was very awkward to fight, had decent speed, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I'd take Sweet Pea. I see him frustrating Duran with quick combinations as SRL did.

Oh and 1st post, by the way!

Do find this a really difficult one to call its really a coin toss in my opinion.
I do like the LW's and these guys are both top 4 atg LW's in anyone' list and have both of these guys in my 20 atg pfp.
I've voted with Duran but I think that is purely because I've followed him longer to be honest so sentamentality swings it.

I've read your previous post on Whitaker which let me know you know very little about him. This is another example.
