    135 Duran. Dude IMO was the best at that weight-class of all time. I know there is Benny Leonard and Whitaker at 135. Also Armstrong and Napolez were really good at 135. But, I have Duran as the greatest LW ever. But, I won't argue with anybody if they had Benny Leonard higher than Duran.

    Duran beats Floyd at 135. I don't care what nobody says. Duran beats him. I know a lot of people are high of a recent big win but he ain't ****ing with Duran at 135.

    However, at 147 Duran was passed his prime. So I would give Floyd the edge at 147.

          It would not be comfortable. But, I do think he beats a passed prime version of Duran at 147. Duran prime was at LW. That is when he was at his best.

            147 I gotta go with Floyd. At 135 I'd have to probably give the slight edge to Duran.

              The fact that he beat Sugar Ray leonard at 147 shows mw at his prime he beats FLoyd at 147....at 135 i think he KO's FLoyd because he was a monster at 135 and the best LW in history....plus had huge heart

                I have to go with Duran to beat Shane. Who is the best fight that Shane fought at 135? Lieja? Holiday? Molina? I mean nice wins. But, he didn't fight any elite to prove how good he really was at LW. I wish he would of fought Stevie Johnston. But, oh well.

                Shane had power and speed. But, Duran was just a beast, skilled, tricky, tough, he was a better counterpuncher than Shane, smart, rough. Duran beats him...

                A good fight at LW. Duran vs Whitaker. Now that fight would of been special.
