      Oscar and Duran's primes were at lightweight.

        Oscar was 23 years old when he fought Pernell Whitaker. HE was considered "prime" in that bout.

          I get you but Oscar was at his sharpest and most destructive at lightweight. Thats why he's considered an h2h beast at that weight.

          It definitely wouldnt be a prime Duran that fights a prime Cotto since Duran was at his sharpest and most destructive at lightweight. He did however still look great in his fight with Carlos Palomino at light welterweight and he was in immense physical shape against Ray in Montreal.

            Agreed with all picks, Floyd vs Whitaker was the only one I struggled to pick though.

              It defo wouldnt be a prime Duran that fights a prime Cotto.
              You could say his first couple years at 147 was the end of his prime. I mean, Palomino and Leonard 1 are arguably the best performances of his career and they were both welterweight.

                This except Im not very confident on who'd win between oscar and leonard, oscar was a beast, althpugh I guess if Mosley could beat him. The other is i'd pick golovkin over hopkins, past the initial headbutts and rough start golovkin starts commanding with his jab, power and footwork. Tough fights though, either could go either way but I do give "slight" edges to leonard and golovkin.

                  Duran was definitely sharper and punched harder as a lightweight though you're correct in saying those are arguably his best performances. I think Duran is always going to look good against the Palomino style. Palomino liked to fight in the areas Duran was a master in. And Duran was in unbelievable shape mentally and physically for Leonard 1. On reflection I would say you definitely have a point.
