fab 4 era overrated?

Exactly.

 

Duran yes, Leonard, Hagler and Hearns no.

 

duran is overrated and should not have been included in this team, he was the worst of the 4 clearly

You again! duran was smaller and older than the other 3, don't think it's fair to say he was worse than the other 3 in a p4p sence based on his losses to them.

 

most astute observers would agree he was the best of the four, and the only one of the four who is routinely included in top 10 P4P lists.

 

:good

 

Yep. In stark contrast to what we have today.

 

It is not about undefeated. If those fab 4 were interested in being undefeated we would not have a fab 4. Just the fact they were not undefeated is why we have them. They wanted to win regardless of past losses. Jones and Mayweather did the protection handpicking thing. They are good and deserve credit, but they avoided fights which would have made their legacies as good as Leonard. There are not any fights during the fab 4 era I would really want except maybe Hagler vs. Benitez so that there would be a fab 5. Hagler is the only one who didn't fight Benitez.

 

me again? Who hell are you? Nobody.... Simple..
And not. He was the worst of the 4 because he never was proved in his prme at lw against another great lw, doe snot matter if he was smaller, robinson did beat the bigger all time great lamotta.
Duran is overrated

 

better ? Based on? His fights against de jesus and buchanan? He never was proved it. He was the worst of the 4

 

You will not find many who know the sport well that will agree with you. This should cause you to at least take pause.

 

This post should be required reading in the general forum. :good

 

I know right!...Great post I love it:yep

 

Boy, you got that right about Duran-DeJesus II. One of my favorite fights to watch. The punches come so fast and furious they are hard to keep up with at times. Not just from Duran either, DeJesus was a top fighter at the time. Every time I watch that fight I am amazed at the skill shown by both fighters (especially Duran of course) Good Post!
