No way Duran has a bigger punch at 160 than Miranda, with that said that would be the only advantage Edison would have (except strength). Duran went a close 15 with a prime Hagler and 12 with Barkley, so his chin would definitely stand up to anything Miranda could throw and he would slip, duck, block, and roll with the rest.
Manos De Piedra (at his best at 160) vs. prime Miranda would play out almost the same way the Davey Moore fight went (though Miranda is slower with less stamina), Roberto brutally stopping him after giving him a first class beat down.

remember that that was an old Duran that fought Marvin Hagler and Iran Barkley. In fact, with the Barkley fight, he was a huge underdog.

I'm aware of that, but you should know that Duran never had a physical prime above 147. The Hagler fight was closer to but still past his prime in 83 and the Barkley fight was in 89 and were probably the strongest middleweights of their time each among the hardest hitters. When you talk about this mythical matchup, even though it says prime vs. prime, it's about Duran at a weight disadvantage and those fights.
That said, any in shape before 89 version of Duran would brutally stop Miranda, Davey Moore style.

I see what you are saying, but I was thinking if Duran could fight like he fought in his prime while he is 160, which does not take much of a toll from the prime Duran, and it may only make him slower.
