Duran as a Lightweight fights in any era and could challenge any Lightweight ever! Floyd as a Welter would not be able to compete at a high level against the ATG welters. I do see Floyd more as a 140lbs however I don't believe the "junior" classes should have titles!
Floyd ...5'6" 140
Duran...5'7" 135
.............I take Duran to win. At 35 Duran will be ON Floyd and Floyd would have to fight no walking off or acting cute with Duran at 35!!! It could and should be a good fight but Duran is to agressive for Floyd to deal with. Duran decs. win in 10 or 12 Duran by tko in 13 in a 15 round title.

You have the wrong stats Ray. Floyd is 5'8''. Floyd is obviously higher up p4p, the greatest welterweight of his generation. Possibly the greatest LWW ever and a terrific LW. Wins over ATGs such as Castillo, Corrales, Corley, Judah and Baldomir attest to that. I haven't even begun to mention Oscar, Cotto and the beast Mosley.

Duran remained a top full time relevent contender for literally half a century, beating some incredible fighters along the way, in the golden era of boxing in the most stacked weight classes
He was a relevant fighter longer than Floyd has been alive.
