    @ 160. The Duran that beat Barkley against a prime Tiger. Does Duran still manage to beat Tiger with his boxing skills or does he end up getting mugged by the stronger Tiger?

    I don't think that version of Duran was mobile enough to keep away from Tiger. He would land sharp counters but unlike Griffith he would be there for Tiger's return fire. That's bad news over 12 or 15 rounds. Duran loses by a bruising decision or maybe a late stoppage.

    The version that lost to Hagler might have a better chance but I think Tiger still wins.

    Tiger is too strong for Duran at 160.

    I think the version of Duran that held his own against Hagler does have a slightly better chance against the older Duran that beat Barkley.
