    Who could Gearld take and whom would defeat him and how?

    Please I'd love to hear the details!
    the best MIDDLE weight version of each pug are being used not necessarily the best of each fighter of course but it is what it is.

    Personally I can see him beating Duran convincing enough, aswell as Sugar Ray Leonard oddly...
    something tells me his unshackable chin, demonic power and solar plexus punches might be too much for this version of Lenoard.

    I see him KOing Duran, Hearns and Leonard. All early (2-3) whilst clearly being the lesser boxer.

    Hagler? Hagler never went down? Oh but he would. He never fought anyone like the G man. Don't get me wrong I'm picked Hagler, and by late stoppage. But we'd get a wicked war with ebs and flows. I think Hagler would hit the canvas, for real, get up, and then the G man would as well. I think Hagler eventually breaks him down, like Benn did. But also like Benn, he hits the deck as well.

    Loses to them all IMO. Best shot against Duran. Massively overrated.

    When McClellan was green he did spar a prime hearns, hearns toyed with him and started talking smack, gerald took out his mouth piece and head gear and tried to street fight him but they got held back, they'd have a epic grudge match but while hearns is more skilled when he matured as a fighter mcclelan was stronger, faster, and much more durable. Stylistically bad for hearns too, I'm going with G man by early stoppage.

    Duran would be a absolute sitting duck and get steamrolled in a foreman Frazier way, maybe even more explosive.

    Leonard would get knocked out early but I see him atleast surving to the 3rd unlike duran.

    Hagler would be the only one that would stand a real chance here, and I think his iron chin, good technical skills, and strong jab would keep mcclelan honest to winning a slim decision but haglers slow hands could lose him the decision aswell. McClellan was a much stronger opponent than Mugabi ever was.
