Duran would win by KO in the middle rounds.Comment

MT had great speed but he also lacked the discipline or durability to beat Duran. Even in the 2nd Chavez fight he foolishly couldn't resist going toe to toe with JCC in RD6, and paid the price when he was stopped two rounds later.
I thought he also fought the wrong game plan against Terry Norris, he had to get on his bike more often and use more angles, he couldn't stay in the pocket with Norris who finished within 4 rds.Comment

I'd give Taylor almost no chance. His style didn't match up well. Whitaker would be someone who could have a decent shot at beating Duran at 135 or 140.Comment

Duran would break him down. Taylor would have his moments considering how fast and fluid his combinations were, but Duran wasn't as easy to hit as Chavez.
I think the fight would be competitive early on, but I see Taylor breaking down in about 4 rounds sooner than the Chavez fight.
Duran KO 10.Comment

Yeah, I agree. Taylor just got into it too much. He couldn't resist fighting, getting in there and going for it. That's suicide against the best version of Duran. Taylor, for all his skill, speed etc was also actually quite easy to hit. A bit too easy for him to last the distance against Duran. It would be one hell of a fight though and very exciting. Taylor also didn't hit hard enough to phase Duran when he did land.Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostComment
