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.
I know, im just saying, cus you said to this day no one stands in front of trini, haha, its all good staying in front of a prime tito was almost suicide...
prime duran was at lightweight and his prime ended after he fought SRL the first time...he was about 30 then
duran was 33 years old and 20 lbs above his prime weight when he fought hearns
Duran just went the distance with a prime Hagler in his previous fight and only lost by 1 point on 2 cards and by 2 on the other. Duran may not have been at his prime when he fought Hearns but he was still damn close to it.
Simple question: Name fighters from NOW or in the PAST who'd go threw DLH's resume undefeated.
NOTE: It takes a very special fighter to be able to do that.
By the way: I'm talking about 130-154 resume.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Sugar Ray Robinson
Thomas Hearns
Roberto Duran
Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Roberto Duran, Aaron Pryor ( i think they can make 130 )

Leonard and Hearns never fought at 130.
I call shinanigans on Mayweather. Mayweather would not have gotten by Whitaker, Quartey, Trinidad, Mosley and Vargas. Same goes for Duran and Pryor, they would not have pulled that off against WWs/JMWs of that era.
