    Extremely tough call. Hagler was my boyhood favorite, but all deserve consideration.

    If we just take the results of the fights they had with each other its Leonard.

    If we are talking about who ranks higher in an ATG list its Duran.

    1. Duran
    2. Hagler
    3. Hearns
    4. Leonard ( I think he lost to Hagler and Hearns )

    But this is in overall p4p rankings

    but then again, in their fight with both closest to/or at their best, SRL beat Hearns in 14. And SRL did do better vs Hagler compared to Hearns too.

    1. Leonard, Obviously. He is the most famous and actually beat all three.
    2. Hagler, he completed destroyed Hearns and wore down Duran
    3. Duran, he is a living legend and gave Hagler all he could handle and beat Ray.
    4. Hearns, Losing to both Ray and Hagler hurt him but he did demolish Duran.

    The fact they all fought each other and beat one another makes this a beautiful discussion.

    I would go with SRL.
    He had the skills and the boxing ability above the other three.

    Best first post in the history of E.S.B. :good Welcome.

    Hearns fought his ass off against Hagler, eve after he broke his hand. No shame in that ****.


    Well, at least Hearns was winning when the poll first started.:D

    I picked Hearns.

    Four Kings by George Kimball is a great book about there fights against each other and well worth a read if you havent got it already.
