Duran and Leonard made ridiculous comments. Like the fab 4 again is untouchable.

    Why do the fab 4 of the 80s think they are untouchable? Duran and Hearns were beatable and Leonard did get outboxed by Hearns. Hearns knocked out Duran!!! Hagler knocked out Hearns!!! Leonard knocked out Hearns!!!
    Yet here is Duran making this comment this weekend "Mayweather wouldn’t reach (those heights) fighting against us,” Duran said. “Hearns would have knocked him out. Hagler, Leonard and myself all would have knocked him out. Those guys were monsters. Even (Iran) Barkley.” Excuse me Barkley? and Leonard said this! "“I’d have knocked him out,” said Sugar Ray Leonard"
    Duran also said "He wouldn’t last against me,” said Duran through an interpreter. “He’s not a bad guy, but he has a big mouth. I know how he fights and everything he does. He’d have nothing to teach me.”

    This fab 4 stuff goes overboard. They were good fighters and came to fight but they were beatable!! These guys are full of themselves all of them!!

    "We have to hear".

    Translation- "I never saw those guys fight and i'm talking out of my arsehole"

    if Floyd had everyone to fight like these guys had each other he would have fought them all!! they were lucky to have each other to fight and build legacies and now floyd has to build his a different way because he has no one at his level!!!!!

    Floyd is a smart man. He fights the best and yet he can talk clearly unlike Tommy Hearns who was hit too much!! Floyd has money and Roberto and Tommy lost it all and now went to the UK to tour with each other to earn scraps!!! That isn't Floyd. Ray looked terrible at 34 with Norris!!!! Floyd is 36!!!!

    Manny doesnt agree to the terms and he chickened out!! That simple. Floyd would have had no problem fighting Hearns Duran or Leonard if they too agreed to the terms!!!!!! Manny decided he didnt want the fight!!! Agree to Floyds terms!!!!!

    I don't mind a bit of banter but I hate it when too many old fans criticize today's fighters 'he wouldn't be able to hang with Fab Four' or this or that. Instead of complaining why not help out this generation in order to better the next one?

    Duran even said this "You shouldn’t be afraid in boxing,” Duran said. “In our day, it was how much, when, where, what time and at what weight?” As tho Floyd is not fighting!!!I still cant believe Duran mention Barkley!!!

    Barkley's two wins over Hearns are better than anything on Floyd's record.

    Fact :deal

    They all lost because they fought everyone in their legendary era.

    Floyd hasn't even fought everyone in his relatively bleak era.

    Old guys always make there feats seem more grandiose...the fact is Money May would give all of them work...even Hearns....

    I mean Hagler, SRL & Hearns were all outboxed by lesser fighters then floyd fact...

    I'm not saying he would be undefeated...but he would give all of those guys WORK.
    Duran would get stopped....
