    I am still just beside myself about this thread. I really had no clue this many people would rate Duran, Hearns, and Haglar over Leonard as much as Ive seen it on here..Its just amazing to me!. But he's not my top pick either sooooo!?

    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

    :bart He beat 4 top 40 ATGs. There is no possible way you can say Hagler was robbed it was an incredibly close fight and could have gone either way.

    I can understand why people dislike Leonard`s personality, I can understand (tho not to the same extent) why people dislike Duran & Hagler`s personalities... I can`t understand why anyone would hate Hearns personality however.... BUT I don`t judge fighters on their character more than their fighting ability & that is why I say its blasphemous for anyone to dislike any of these brilliant fighters on their ability aka in the ring... every single one of them were ATG elite legends & would have been a superstar in any era - fact.

    Hagler is easily one of my all time favourite fighters & he is 4th on my list here... that`s the sort of admiration & respect I have for these brilliant boxers that are being discussed in this thread.

    Those are my picks as well. I first became a fan because of Hagler, then over time I became a huge Duran fan. I enjoy watching all 4 of them but I especially like Duran and Hagler.

    When they were actually fighting SRL,Hearns,Hagler,Duran
    Now Hearns,Hagler,SRL,Duran

    Hearns always provided fireworks. In his fights against the other members of the Fab 4 there was at least one knockdown in every fight. The other three fighters did not have one knockdown against each other. The only one I remember being hurt was SRL in the second round against Duran and in the 5th round against Hagler.

    Hearns,Hagler, SR, Ali & Pryor are my five favorite fighters of all-time
