    I think Duran was too economical at this stage of his career and lacked the workrate/intensity needed to beat Wright.

    Given Duran's struggles with Benitez and Laing, I'd favor Winky over him as well.

    Adding to the economical aspect Winky won't be giving openings the likes of an Iran Barkley did.

    Above 147, Duran could still look good against fighters that stood toe-to-toe with him (i.e.: Cuevas, Moore), but he struggled much more with technical boxers than previously in his career.

    Duran would try to fight on the inside and Winky would keep shoving him off at both 154 and MW
