Duran and Leonard made ridiculous comments. Like the fab 4 again is untouchable.

    Surely they meant untouchable not only in the ring but out of it. No one can replace these fighters. Four all-time greats and all fought each other in their primes without making deluded comical demands.

    To the thread starter I have to really wonder if you even watched Boxing in the 80's.

    Probably one of the best era's of Boxing from 140 to 160

    You had names like
    Marvin Hagler
    Ray Leonard
    Tommie Hearns
    Roberto Duran
    Mike McCallum
    Julian Jackson
    John Mugabi
    Michael Nunn
    Lloyd Honeyghan
    Donald Curry
    Aaron Pryor
    Alexis Arguello
    Wilfred Benitez
    Mustafa Hamsho
    Iran Barkley

    He wouldnt do **** cause he wouldnt even fought them.

    **** he was scared of former flyweight Midget.

    And now hes scared of Canelo Alvarez.

    With guys like the fab four around and knowing Floyd.

    He wouldnt even turn pro. :rofl

    Could you imagine Marvin Hagler talking about Floyd like when he fought Hearns.

    Floyd would **** himself.

    good excuse? What if Floyd went back in time and beat them all and was still undefeated? Fact is they all lost!!! and Floyd will retire with money. Duran and Hearns. Great fighters. But they lost all their money!!!!! All those wars and no money? That is why Floyd fights for money and he is still undefeated!

    Mayweather would definitely make it hard for them all, and he should be considered on the same level.

    But to say Duran would get stopped is like saying Meldrick Taylor is slow, or Amir Khan has an ATG chin.

    Duran 147 version that beat SRL & Palomino, would terrorise Mayweather

    A 38 year old Mosley is not a 25 year old Sugar Ray. Look who Floyd fought last ....that answers all your questions!

    This reminds me of that wonderful thread where you had to guys who make me ashamed to say like me,they are Floyd fans claiming that back then,all guys had to do was stand and punch.
    Floyd has to think.Not like those guys.:lol:

    I'm a big fan of Floyd,but the fact is that the three he could've fought,would almost certainly have beat him.
    For some reason I give him a chance against Duran,but have no argument with the guys who disagree with me.
    Ray beats Floyd on points.It's been covered too many times to go into why.
    Tommy is the most emphatic winner.Again,it's been well covered.

    The Fab 4 overrated?
    That's a bit like saying being a multi-millionaire is overrated.Sounds nice,but we all know it's complete drivel.

    Name 6 from the last 5 years that are better than those guys,outwith Floyd.
    I'll allow you Pryor and that's it.
    And I love Marquez but even he toils to better these guys.

    barkleys a big mw, floyds not even a big ww, floyds got way more skills but barkley could win that.(could not would)

    the only fab 4 may has a chance with is unmotivated duran.
