Would Canelo Alvarez, Danny Jacobs, and GGG be able to compete with the Fabulous 4 from the 80’s?

    I agree but GGG might have beaten Hearns at 160 anyway.

    As Atlas said Canelo is a good and not a great fighter.In reality he lost close fights against a past prime GGG.He also got emberassed against the only great fighter he fought in Floyd.

    Even at middleweight I would pick Hearns, Leonard and 83 version of Duran to beat him.

    Jacobs loses all 4 fights.

    Canelo loses to all except Duran and I suppose he has a slim chance against Hearns because of his suspect chin.

    GGG loses to Hagler and Leonard, Duran he wins a close fight and Hearns is a 50/50 could go either way, yeah Tommy has a less than stellar chin but GGG is so damn easy to hit you don't away with that against TH's jab and right hand

    83 version of Duran would be too slick and savy for Canelo on the Inside.

    GGG has a brilliant defense for a come forwards fighter, if Ray came forward like that he would have got hit much more than GGG does, GGG would have landed far more on Hagler than Ray did.

    They were/are great at pretending they are inside evading shots and countering, Duran baited fighters while coming in with his chin then would slip and counter, Canelo baits by moving his lead foot into punching range making his opponent think he`s inside so they punch commiting their bodies forwards leaving them open to his counters, Canelo leans back behind his lead foot at a safe range, two master inside fighters but CAnelo gasses badly.
