Ten Lightweights who would Topple Duran

[Tony Trick-Pony]

1-10. Roberto Duran

At his prime weight and shape, no one could beat the legend other than himself and at lightweight, he rarely beat himself as his habits had not gotten out of control at that point. Never have watched a lightweight fighter who could have beaten him at 135.

IMO Guys with a legit chance

Benny Leonard
Ike Williams
Henry Armstrong
Estaban dejesus (this is a proven fact)
Pernell Whitaker
Julio ceaser Chavez
Carlos Ortiz

Yamil cruz would have destroyed him

[Daddy T]

there a few that would have a good chance of beating him but I'd favor prime duran over anybody in history at lightweight.

chavez vs duran would've been war

duran takes him though.

i think duran does better against pea than chavez did.


duran was like 20 when he lost to dejesus.

duran's only loss his 1st 73 fights.

duran's only loss from the late 1960's to 1980's when he no mas to ray in the rematch.

he stopped dejesus in the rematches.

[just the facts]

there's not one lightweight throughout history that I would bet hard earned money on to beat a prime lightweight Duran

[VG_Addict]

Whitaker-Duran at 135 is a dream fight.

Whitaker-Duran at 135 is a dream fight.

it'll go the distance, be kinda boring and the winner will depend on who the judges are.

I'd slightly favor Duran, but I would love to see Prime Duran vs Prime Manny Pacquiao at lightweight. Even though Manny only had one fightat that weight, I always felt his best weights would of been 135 or 140.
