Duran was the most technically skilled boxer in history imo, but he simply didnt have the physicality to deal with an elite middleweight, especially since he was mainly a pressure fighter which is pretty much the most physically demanding boxing style. Canelo is a fellow pressure fighter with immense skills up-close and a killer body-work, something that consistently affected duran. I have no doubt that duran can catch canelo with nasty right-hands and make him look like an amateur at times, but at the end canelo’s size and physical prowess would simply be too much and duran would lose round after round with canelo hurting and pushing him around the ring with blatantly greater strength and chopping power-punches.
