    Duran outworks and outskills him and takes a rather clear decision

    Duran wins and somehow it enhances Floyd's resume

    Well let's see....

    Mayweather beat Mosley who beat Vargas who beat Wright who beat Trinidad who beat Joppy who beat Duran. So yes a Duran win does indeed enhance Floyd's legacy!!!!!

    I'd just take Lamotta here based on being a better middleweight than Duran and much bigger man. Yeah, Duran was able to beat Barkley, but Lamotta wasn't a brainless face-first slugger like Barkley. He had skills and ring IQ and a pretty underrated defense.

    Lamotta too strong and too busy... wins a clear UD over a crafty but outworked Duran

    I don't know how Duran beats a guy who is bigger and whom he cannot intimidate or bully, and who is just as busy.

    LaMotta, close decision.
