Duran vs Whitaker...

[Phantasm]

Who wins at:

Lightweight?
Welterweight?
Light Middleweight?

Whitaker's slick smooth style can be compared to Leonard a bit, so I think the matchup would have been interesting had they been able to meet.

Since they are both being inducted into the HOF, figured I'd ask the question.

got to go with duran close decison, duran had an extra gear very few fighter had that let him defeat the great sugar ray leanord

[Shanus]

I think both of them could have beaten eachother if it was their night, it's a 50/50 fight for me.

[Exciterx30]

Whitaker is one of the slickest defensive fighters ever, but Duran was so relentless and resourceful. I don't see Duran stopping Pernell, but I can see Duran getting a decision in a rough fight in which Whitaker gets pinned to the ropes regularly and punished with body shots.

[Phantasm]

I agree with Shanus, sorta. I'd say Duran-Whitaker 60-40. If I were to give anyone a slight edge, it'd be Duran.

[Hydro]

Duran wins by decision in all of them, with the closest being at LW.

7-5, 8-4 type fights. Or 9-6 or 10-5 in 15 rounders.

Gota go wid Sweet Pea

[Jazzy Paul]

Leonard fought the wrong fight when he tried to show his machismo and go toe-to-toe with Duran in the first fight. I don't think Whitaker would ever make that mistake and could see him frustrating Duran on the way to a close decision win.

However, it's a brilliant mystic match-up...a total pick em that will divide opinion big time.

[Jcsuper]

I say Sweet Pea

[ferocity]

I'll go with a prime Duran. Duran could do it all.
