    I like them all, and there all great.
    Altough I think SRL has a dark side that he controls realy well and he lets out in the ring.

    Do we mean as middleweights? If so then it's

    Hagler
    Hearns
    Duran
    Leonard

    If we mean as welterweights

    Hearns
    Duran
    Leonard

    If we mean pound-for-pound, best, all time, whatever, then

    Duran
    Hagler
    Hearns
    Leonard

    How was Hearns a better Welter than Leonard? What's your basis for Hearns and Hagler being greater than Leonard all-time?

    Hagler won the middleweight title and successfully defended it 12 times. Hagler defeated Duran, Hearns, and Leonard (he was robbed), not to mention Minter, Antuofermo, Obelmejias, Hamsho, Roldan, and Mugabi.

    Hearns destroyed Cuevas, Duran, Shuler, and Roldan. He outboxed Benitez and Hill, two extraordinarily good boxers. He was giving Leonard a boxing lesson before falling apart at the end and he defeated Leonard in the rematch.

    Duran whipped Palomino and battered Leonard to win the world welterweight title, knocked out Cuevas, gave Hagler a damn good battle, and then defeated Barkley to win the WBC middleweight title. If we throw Duran's full resume into the mix, he moves to the top of the heap.

    Leonard comes in last by comparison whether your looking only at welterweight or (and especially) on up the ladder. His defeat to Norris was a particularly bad moment.
