    The Duran who fought Hagler (or the one who fought Barkley if you like) vs the Benn who fought Barkley and Dewitt.

    I know people just adore Nigel Benn around here, but I think a careful, ready Duran is far too crafty and defensively cagey to lose to a guy like him... though admittedly, he'd be under lots of pressure early on from all the bombs being thrown his way... the longer it goes, the better for Duran

    Hagler Duran by clear decision. Barkley Duran loses a decision.

    I dunno...I don't see a decision in either scenario. Either benn knocks him out early or Duran gets to him late.

    Duran by late stoppage is a definite possibility, over 15 a strong one. I don't personally see anybody without the second name 'Hearns' KOing Duran. Possible when you punch like Benn, but I would bet against him landing solidly enough often enough to pull that trick.
