    I disagree with all but the last pick.

    Floyd would lose to all three. Duran was a beast with skill and defense(check out how he elude many of leonards punches), leonard was superior in every way except defense and hearns was simply too tall, fast and powerful.

    Hearns decisively, likely late KO, possible clear UD.

    I totally feel ya. Duran ain't got **** on Castillo, and Leonard sure as hell ain't got **** on a washed up De La Hoya.

    Hey in truth, if they had been in the same era. PBF wouldn`t even even want to be in the same arena as the Hitman. He never would have signed to fight him, for any kind of money.

    hearns is a superb boxer with a great jab although mayweather is too a great boxer i think hearns would be able to out box mayweather .leonard could not out box hearns so mayweather wont and mayweather has not got leonards power so i will go for hearns by ko after the 12

    Hearns was the better boxer. Mayweather won't be able to reach the man enough to do any damage.

    :lol::lol: It's the beauty of debate mate :good Your view on this is very persuasive though. There's just this sneaking feeling that Mayweather would hold on for dear life and survive the distance. He'd be battered,certainly. There's something about Mayweather's character that reminds me of Leonard. A little smug and aloof,maybe ?

    This one has been done to the death. Anyone who thinks Floyd has a prayer against Hearns at 147 needs to check into rehab for a few months.
