Roberto duran vs felix trinidad at welterweight?

My friend I have a ton of respect for Trinidad and all of his accomplishments in the ring. Very dominant and strong fighter with good boxing skills and outstanding power. Now Roberto Duran is a different kind of fighter, an intimidating presence in the ring with a controlled and yet savage fury. Lightweight was of course was his best weight, but he was also successful at welterweight particularly that night he defeated Leonard in Montreal. He had great punching power, was very aggressive, strong and above all else, intelligent. Despite all of that meanness he had, he also could think inside of the ring and was quite a clever counter puncher too. Trinidad would try to force the action and Duran would oblige slipping many of Trinidad's shots and responding with vicious hooks and crosses to the head and body stunning Trinidad a few times. Trinidad would land some good shots but Duran would land a far greater volume of effective punches and take the unanimous decision.
