The Fabulous Four

I put a similar thread to this on the British Forum last week... Check it out, some quality responses that bring interesting debate...:yep

 

I made a thread on this subject quiet a while back before my old account was cancelled it basically was a question that asked if Pac and Mayweather faced the four what would be the results of the eight fights and the almost unanimous response was that neither could beat Leonard. This confirmed for me the opinion i already had that Leonard was the greatest of the four

 

Ray Leonard has the best boxing skills and talent and he is the only one of the four to beat the other three.

 

For results in the Fab Four then its Leonard but I think overall its Duran.

 

Hagler easy:good

 

What did Hagler achieve that Duran didn't? Duran did at lightweight what Hagler did at middle and THEN went on to win titles at 147, 154 and 160.

 

all four are great fighters but duran had the most talent

 

As much as it pains me to say it, as Hagler is my grandfather's and my personal favorite boxer off all time, it is SRL. Look at his record between the 2nd and 3rd Duran fight.

 

Duran tops them out in my opinion, his overall skill and legacy is incredible. However a case can be made for the other three it was an amazing era.

 

Duran was a greater fighter but Leanord had gretaer physical gifts and Heanr had greater physical gifts as far as boxing skill pure and simple Duran had greater boxing skill.

Which is why Camacho blew an old out Leanord yet an old Duran survived Camacho. without the otherwordly reflexes and speed leanord didnt have the Boxing skill of a Duran to fall back on.

 

Leonard.

 

Duran at 135 was amazing...:yep

 

Looking at their whole careers, it's Duran. Success in the fab 4 goes to SRL.
