    I put Hagler last because the other guys were naturally smaller and jumped in weight classes to capture other world titles.

    Duran
    SRL
    Hearns
    Hagler

    The fact a lightweight champ fought all those legends, beat SRL, and went 15 rounds against a prime Hagler and even had the audacity to snarl at him at the final bell says it all.

    Hagler was ATG badass so for Duran to do that to a bigger prime version of him on his own soil can only = ATG badass too.

    I know Hearns sparked Duran but c'mon, man.. what much smaller former lightweight would you wish that giant praying mantis murderous punching monster on or favour to eat that X-rated biblical right hand from hell? I give Duran all the credit in the world just for stepping in a ring with a much larger beast like that

    This is an interesting answer. Leonard beat them all but you rank him last head to head. You are a pretty thoughtful guy and I'd love to know your reasoning.

    Too young to have watched back then but based on some videos and articles.
    SRL- he always pulled out what he needed to win.
    Duran- he seemed like the type of athlete to over perform when he was the underdog but underperform when he didn’t take it seriously.
    Hearns/Hagler- Hagler was good but also the biggest, Hearns was good but could be outlasted.
    If i’m wrong any of them I’ll accept criticism and fights of them to watch.

    I think I got it Duran, Leonard, Hagler, hearns but is razor close by all of them he’ll hearns went from 147-175 that’s tough
