    I would favour him to beat all of these guys, but if he was fighting them as part of a busy schedule giving some rematches and fighting a trilogy with, say Leonard or Hagler, he'd lose a couple. But he'd emerge as the outstanding fighter of the 80's, unquestionably, with probably Hagler giving him the most trouble out of those guys.

    How the **** are we suppossed to know.

    No-one will ever know things that can never be.

    How does Enzo Maccarnelli do against a Crusierweight Evander Holyfield??

    How the **** are we supposed to know.

    This is RING magazine page filler stuff to make the magazine look thicker

    different era when fighters fought all the time. hard to compare era's i think but srr is one of the goat's for sure. not sure he beats hagler or leonard but probably the rest.

    stay in the his preferred weight longer and stay undefeated longer because at welterweight he is the king and basically not a fighter that I can think of that could beat him, possibly have trouble with ray leonards speed and hearns power but I think he mix of skills, timing, accuracy, unpredictableness, craftyness, and ring savvy would get him past all of them. He would lose here and there but win every single rematch and fight that takes place after that

    I really can't decide if anyone of these guys really beat him. i love hearns but he has to be ruled out with his chin.
