Who was the best of these 4?

1. Hagler (I think he won vs SRL).
2. Leonard (talented but dodged Hagler early in his career)
3. Duran
4. Hearns

 

Duran, Leonard, Hearns, and Hagler.

 

yet you put Duran above Hearns even though Hearns beat Duran.

 

Not enough Hearns love on this forum...

How can there be a considerable gap between Duran / Leonard and Hearns? Hearns knocked Duran out, savagely. Also, he fought Leonard twice; beating him up until Leonard got the desperation knockout in the 14th and loosing a super shady decision in the second fight (which almost everyone thinks Hearns actually won).

Hearns was great, and he could have won even more matches than he did if he hadn't prioritized the fans enjoyment of a match over the actual W on his resume...

I say Hearns was the best followed by Hagler, Duran and Leonard.

 

This poll is the equivalent of picking your favorite child.

Marvin was nearly as good when leonard fought him.
