I listed Duran 4th of the "Fab 4" because I just don't like him as much as the other 3.

But of the "Fab 4" he'd be my #4 in terms of cheering interest.

Some people hate Leonard, so he'll be rated #45325 on their personal lists. LOL Like I fully acknowledge that Mike Tyson from 1985-1989 was one of the best fighters of all time, but I don't care for him personally so he'd be about #500 on my list of favorites.

Sanchez? Obviously a magnificent fighter. Too bad we never got to see him in some of the fights he could have had with Arguello, Chavez, Pedroza, etc. His fight with Gomez is so underrated by a lot of the younger fans today.
Yes but you cant let your person feelings effect how you rank greats..You say in the early and late 80's Tyson was one of the best ever..but to say youd rank him 500 all time is just you letting your feeling get in the way of your decisions..facts are facts. rather you like the guy or not he Top 5 best HW's ever..

A true champion and one that boxing could do with today. All great fighters who were in great fights.
Haglar was no joke..a stalker, a puncher, power in both hands, right handed and southpaw..he really was the total package!,,I agree with what your saying..Haglar was all business in the ring.

Most De La Hoya fans are Duran fans too!!..I cant get enough of either of them..

[quote=grumpy;13680434]I know, he's easily the most overated fighter since Ali. He lost to Duran, and was given a gift against Hagler. And in the rematch with Hearns he lost.... Imagine that[/quote

He didnt lose..Tommy was robbed, It was a draw
