Ever since I was a a young lad my old man has continually informed me about his favourite era in boxing and showed me tape after tape of the group he refers to as the fab four (Hagler, Leonard, Duran & Hearns). I would like to know whom you regard to be the best pound for pound out of the four, what the greatest fight among any of them was, and your fondest memories please.
Duran was the greatest of them in their respective primes, although he had the least wins against the other members of this group, he was by then not at his best. You could possibly make the argument for Hagler, maybe, maybe Leonard, but i dont see it personaly!! The best fight still, is Hagler-Hearns, but the first Duran-Leonard bout is absolutelly awe-inspiring from Duran, and Leonard's comeback against Hearns was the shiit also!! And then theres the Herans-Duran ko!!!!
I've got Leonard as the best fighter overall. Agree with your points 2 & 3, though (despite not being around at the time to see Hearns destroying Duran). :good
For me, it has to be Duran. Fondest memory: Seeing Tommy exact revenge (almost at least) in his second fight with Leonard. He wanted that one so badly, and it showed.
