Would Roberto Duran have gone 69-1 in the 1960’s at lightweight?

Competition that he would’ve faced:
Carlos Ortiz
Duilio Loi
Flash Elorde
Ismael Laguna
Sugar Ramos
Nicolino Locche

He just might have...

That one loss being against Locche.

Probably, yes. It depends how he took care of himself. The biggest obstacle in that era would be Carlos Ortiz. Ismael Laguna would have give him lots of problems too. It would have been a tougher era for Duran than the 70s.

That is like saying if Sugar Ray Leonard or Marvin Hagler would have had the same kind of success they had in the 80s.
