    Hagler Vs Hopkins

    Trinidad Vs Hearns

    Leonard Vs Mayweather

    Duran Vs Mosley

    I tried to pick the best from each weight class that each of the big 4 fought in (Hopkins from middleweight,Trinidad from welter,Mayweather and Mosley from lightweight)

    who would you all pick?

    Haggler, Hearns, SRL, and Duran.

    Without hesitation I tell you.

    The closest fight here is Haggler vs Bernard. I take Haggler though.

    And why not utilize Mosely at 135lbs to fight Duran over Castillo?

    Oh man, definitely Hearns & Co., but only because that is such a FORMIDABLE quartet! Id put all 4 of them in my top 6 or 7 all time list!

    Also, I'd put Pernell Whitaker in for Trinidad maybe...or at least one of them

    Where the hell is Roy Jones Jr? Anyway, I'll take Bernard over Hagler. The old school guys win the rest of the matchups

    Roys up at 175 where none of the big 4 ever made any serious impact

    Duran beats Mosely, although its a close fight. Duran at this weight was something nasty to behold.

    Hagler
    Hearns
    Leonard
    Duran

    It's hard to beat legends in peoples minds though - seemingly mine included.

    Tito would have a punchers chance. Floyd-Leonard could be very close - however I have very little to go by with Floyd. Hopkins could win, but Hagler is my all-time fave, so... Duran-Mosley would be next to impossible to win for Mosley, and I rate that as the easiest to predict.

    Trinidad's punchers chance is nullified by his shaky chin and predictability- I see Hearns checking his chin early to mid rounds.
