As we all know, the Fab Four is consisted of Duran, Leonard, Hearns, and Hagler. Now, in today's scene, the Fab Four is now consisted of Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao, and Marquez. Between the two Fab Fours, who would you compare each to? Mine goes like this: Leonard-Barrera Hearns-Morales Duran-Pacquiao Hagler-Marquez My reasoning is this: Leonard/Barrera were seen as the stars of the group, with Hearns/Morales being their main rivals. Duran/Pacquiao were the guys moving up from a smaller division to take these guys on, while Hagler/Marquez were the people up in the higher weight class.
I much prefer to compare the FAB FOUR to the FORGOTTEN FOUR of the same era SRL, Duran, Hearns, Hagler vs. Curry, Pryor, McCallum, Jackson
There are loads of sets of fighters that have been compared with the fab 4. hopkins, dlh, trinidad and err... mayorga?
Probably more so vargas when he was in his prime since even in losing he put up great efforts against Oscar and Tito (Mayorga got dominated and really didn't have any measure of success) although he never fought B-hop. That's the only problem, they don't share a common person they all fought.
in britain the collins-eubank-benn-watson was a far-bowe-lus four always a great fight between them the collins-watson fight has always been though about
Leonard-Pacquiao (Money Men and Celebrity Like Status) Hearns-Morales (Tall Rangy fighters with Power) Hagler-Barrera (Toughness) Duran-Marquez
oscar = srl mosley = duran tito = hearns hops = hagler atleast thats the way ive always thought of it oscar and srl both the golden media boy and olympic winners mosley and duran were the smaller fast guy moving up tito and hearns were the 147 with the big power and shaky chin hops and hagler were the 160 pounders that everyone moved up to fight of course there are differences, such has hearns being way more skilled than tito, and that mosley never fought hops or tito but overall they are kind of the same arrangement
