    All of them would be at the top of their divisions. Duran would move up in weight sooner than he actually did.

    Leonard and Hearns would be rematched quicker and they would both fight Hagler in record pay bouts. Hearns would still lose to him. Leonard/Hagler a 50/50 one. Depends how soon Leonard moves up.

    At the pace super fights are made today, I wouldn't be too sure about that. Ask Pac and floyd.

    They would be happy about the paychecks, but disgusted by the cowardess of certain fighters.And they would take Floyd in the back, and beat the living s**t out of him.

    Floyd would have 3 or 4 losses and Pacquiao would still be fighting at 135 lbs.

    But unless Duran moved up, Pac wouldn't have the same recognition he has now because Duran would beat him similar to Palomino.

    They'd be champions.
    They'd be undisputed champions if the others actually have the b*alls to fight them.

    Golovkin's the only potential threat out there at the moment. And Hagler would outbox him.

    Hagler fought plenty of big middleweights.
    There was no 168 division, so fighters who should have been there often dried out to 160.

    Hagler has the hardest job against golovkin but I still think he'd prevail.good call on bringing Pryor in at 140.
    Would mayweather be able to slow Pryor down and keep him away ??
    I reckon Duran, Leonard and Hearns would all beat Mayweather.
    Duran slipped punches as well as any fighter there as ever been, Leonard I think is underrated on this forum and was a better boxer and Hearns power was brutal.
    The Hearns vs Pryor amateur fight is the best amateur fight I've ever seen

    Surely boxing moves on? Fighters today are fitter,stronger have much more sophisticated training and diet regimes.

    Hagler was peak fitness for all his major fights.
    You can't get better than 100%.
