    Depends what versions we talkin about.

    Even watered down, weaker versions of the Fab 4, were still a force to be reckoned.

    At their best, only Floyd would be competitive with Duran at 135 and 154.

    At 147 and 154 he's competitive with Hearns and SRL.

    140/147 too close to call with Benitez, but I give the edge to Benitez. 154 also to close to call.

    Ward at 168 loses a close fight Hagler, squeaks by a bloated Duran, but not without getting embarrassed and bloodied like Hagler did, loses a close bout by SD to Hearns by a hair, and makes an aging SRL look bad, like Sturm did to ODL.

    GGG its too early to tell he's got the goods, but we'll know for sure this year or the next! A lot of capable fighters, but don't see many troubling the Fab 4 135-160. Crawford is promising as is GGG at least to me.

    KeithThurman goes 4-1 (KO 2) vs Fab V

    1. Thurman UD Duran
    2. Thurman SD Leonard
    3. Thurman TKO Hearns
    4. Thurman TKO Benitez
    5. Hagler UD Thurman

    Mayweather & Pacman lose to all Fab V, due to being smaller fighters!

    Who the F**ck has Thurman fought to warrant all of your claims??? Maybe you meant the Fab 4 at present? Thurman could definitely defeat Duran, Leonard, Hearns and Benitez especially since all of them wield walking canes now...Still, Old Man Hagler would son Thurman....

    Even better Roy Jones was 16-0 (KO 16) at 154, Hagler was the only threat to Roy

    Duran who have a freaking field day with todays 135 division.

    Tommy Hearns would be unstoppable at Welterweight/ Jr Middleweight for even Mayweather.

    Hagler would only have trouble with GGG but probably stop him.

    I'd also favor Sugar Ray to beat Mayweather at 147.

    So by default I'd go with 140 Bentinez. I'd favor him over the likes of Garica, Matthysse and Provodnikov but they could give him trouble.

    5. Brook TKO9 Hagler...
