    Not entirely sure about that.

    Ali-Frazier-Foreman-?

    I think you killed your own thread.

    Yeah true. The thing is that there have been way more three way rivalries than 4 way ones, and I dont even think there is a five way rivalry in this world...except maybe in Bolivia, :lol:

    When i think of 4 kings i think of 4 ATG fighters that fought in that division at that particular time, even if they didnt all fight eachother because of politics or whatever reasons.

    De la hoya-Trinidad-Whitaker-Quartey were the best Welters of the mid to late 90s, so i consider them a fab 4 for that era

    Thats why when i do threads like this ill name a few and see which posters know their history instead of naming them all and leaving nothing to really discuss. I could be wrong, maybe theres 4 greats in some weight class that have all fought eachother. I cant think of any.

    Floyd, Marquez, Pacquiao and... Damn it. Marquez spent too much time fighting trash in-between Pac fights.

    For a nearly complete four-way Brit selection rivalry.

    Benn, Eubank, Watson, Collins

    Collins never fought Watson of course. Had Watson not suffered his terrible injuries to Eubank then there's a fair chance he and Collins could have fought further down the line.

    The only other 4 fighters that I can think of that have actually fought each other within the same weight classes are:

    Roman Gonzalez
    Juan Francisco Estrada
    Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
    Carlos Cuadras

    I think this is the closest to the Fab 4 of the small weight division. It's too bad Kazuto Ioka or Donnie Nietes weren't able to join in to face any of them and instead they fought each other.

    another nearly four way completion (although not sure if the 4th guy would be considered king since Bute was also in the division).

    Ward, Froch, Kessler, Abraham,

    All that is missing from that list is Abraham fighting Kessler.
