    I played that fight out in Title Bout. Gans won...

    Roberto Duran (1979) vs Joe Gans (ATG)
    Scheduled for 15 rounds

    In this "Title Bout" DREAM fight between all time great Lightweight Champions, both fighters had their moments but it was Joe Gans who used his superior boxing skills to outpoint, and even outfight the game and determined Roberto Duran. Gans took the first two rounds with his boxing skills but it was Duran who nearly ended the fight in the 3rd round as he finally caught up to Gans and staggered him with an uppercut before dropping him for an 8 count with a powerful right cross that also caused the left eye of Gans to start swelling up. Gans barely survived the round when Duran could not land that one final shot that surely would have ended it. The 4th was fought on even terms but in the 5th, a sweet left hook from Gans staggered Duran and Gans appeared to take back control. In the 6th, Duran began to get rough with Gans and he opened a bad gash over his left eye with a punch. Between the swelling and the cut, Duran was finding it easier to connect with his power punches and control the fight. The referee took a look at Gans' eye between the 6th and 7th round, ruling that Gans was fit to continue. In the 9th round, a stinging left jab from Gans started a trickle of blood from the nose of Duran. In the 10th, a small cut under the right eye of Gans began to develop. Going into the 11th, Gans was behind on two of the three official cards and so he really turned on the gas in the 11th, outboxing and outpunching Duran with precision shots. Towards the end of the 12th, a round that Duran had controlled despite beginning to show signs of fatigue, a monster left hook from Gans put Duran on the seat of his pants for a 7 count. Gans then swept the championship rounds to win a competitive majority decision, despite the fact that Duran reopened the bad gash over Gans' left eye in the 14th round.

    Result: Joe Gans W15 Roberto Duran
    Official Scores: 145-139 & 144-140 Gans, and 141-141 Even.

      I could see Duran stopping Pacquiao by means of TKO. At Welterweight it's much closer but, I'd still side with the Duran of the Leonard fight.

      Duran UD Mayweather, Mayweather's defence keeps him in the bout but, Duran wins a competitive decision with his constant skilled agression and offsetting Mayweather who struggles to find a rhythm he's used to but, still lands solid punches throughout the fight.

      Duran vs Joe Gans is much too close to call for me, if a gun was put to my head I would side with the aggressor Duran though.

      Gans wins a close decision over Mayweather just being a little more crafty in a fight with little exchanges worth noting.

      Gans UD's Pacquiao easily although Pacquiao does have his moments, there's just a gulf in class between Lightweight Pacquiao and Gans.

        I am assuming these fights are at lightweight

        I think Duran is able to maul Floyd and make it an ugly inside fight and win by decision.

        Duran vs Pacquiao Its a 50/50 fight I think Duran wins most of the rounds but Pacquiao hurts him badly a few times.
