Well in that case no one. I first picked Duran but he wouldn't have beaten a prime Trinidad at welterweight, horrible style match up for him. I can just see Tito tearing him up with those hooks. Duran had decent defense but Trinidad has broken through fighters who's defense were superior.
Simply put I cant. No one has ever outslugged a prime Duran, Duran's defense is superior to anyone that Tito faced IMO. On the inside he's as good as you can get, so I can't see tito getting anything going, and even if he throws a bomb of a hook I don't see it effecting Duran as you seem to. Tito is about as powerful as SRL, and duran went full 15 unperturbed.

Hearns out slugged a prime Duran. Here's the fight on youtube, I don't know how to embed it here. Tito would pose similar problems to Duran as Hearns did imo.

Dude that was at 154, I was under the assumption that we were talking 147.
Even still, At 154 I can see Duran's boxing skills carrying him to an SD against Tito. Tito wasn't as sharp a boxer as Hearns was and would've came in looking for a brawl, unlike Hearns who kept a good distance between himself and Duran, so he could pop that jab and land the big shots.

Leonard's game was boxing and he was good at mixing power with his speed. Trinidad was ALL power and he looked to wear down his opponents, plus he punches a lot harder than Leonard and was naturally bigger. He was a one punch knockout artist in his prime. Duran was a monster at slipping punches, but he got hit plenty of times and had that come forward style and you have to give Trinidad lateral movement or you will just be a target. Even till this day no one has stood in front of Trinidad because he is that dangerous. You just can't expect to slip punches for an entire fight in close quarters with Trinidad and especially at welterweight, where he was unbeaten.

Trinidad was past his weight class and prime, plus he didn't have the pop on his punches that he had at the lower weights. However i do think that Winky would beat any version of Tito, but he was naturally bigger and his defense was a lot better than Duran's. Winky always keeps his gloves up and always has use of the jab. I have rarely seen someone's defense as good as his. He barely takes any punches.
