Have to go with Ketchel because Duran was'nt at his prime when he fought middleweight. As a lightweight was when he was the best fighter pound for pound. So Ketchel in a 12 round TKO.

Duran an all time great at lightweight. He was able, because of his craftiness and ring savvy, to give Hagler a tough fight. He would hang with Ketchel for about 12 rounds and then he would tire. Ketchel by corner retirement round 13.

Ketchel does to Duran at this weight what Tommy Hearns did to him in 2 rounds for the period of their wrestle. Ketchel fought heavyweights and gave them worry such as his skill. imagine what he might want to do to Duran at this weight the position he had very restricted fulfillment. Duran change into an unstoppable savage at light-weight and could be between the nicely ideal at that weight. He did nicely at welter besides inspite of dropping to Ray Leonard who hid behind his jab and antics like a coward of their rematch. yet at middleweight Duran lost it thoroughly and that i can't see him matching the skill of Ketchel in any respect after mountaineering this extreme in weight. Ketchel by KO in 2.
