The lightweight Roberto Duran had everything- power, speed, iron chin, reflexes, timing, effective aggression, defense. Just amazing. It's hard to picture anyone beating him at his lightweight prime. Dejesus managed to do it after Duran was in a car wreck in a non-title fight, but "Hands of Stone" proved himself superior in their rematches.
Prime Khan beats prime Mayweather, Leonard, Duran, relatively easy work on all counts. That's why Floyd **** his pants and retired rather than face Khan. We all saw it happen.
I also think MAB and morales were really well rounded at their peak, could do everything - box/brawl ect
Jones Jr, while looking amazing, was not that good on the inside and he was not a good fighter while on the ropes, looking at the first hopkins fight, he was always weak on the ropes. Usually it didnt matter but if Im looking for the 'perfect' fighter with the least amount of flaws then thats not him
