    Yes, in 1950's you had groups of fighters like Robinson, Lamota, Bassillio, Cerdan, and Graziano and Zale.


    Duran was 1970's fighter who had only a few good fights in 80's, Hearns Leonard and Hagler were all 1980's pros. Duran vs Hagler sucked, Hearns vs Duran was blowout, and Duran Leonard 2 was a disgrace. The Duran DeJesus Trilogy was more book-worthy than his fights with those 3, but not as commercialy popular.

    Ali, Frazier, Foreman and Norton are about as close as I can think of, and it's not really that close.

    Yup, had they fought each other multiple times, they would've probably elevated each other's legacies. Especially Mayweather as i think he would've beaten all of them.

    Probably true as he lost to Mosley and would have lost to Floyd but he did batter Cotto.

    I like Pacman, but if many think hes a beast Duran really is his daddy. He took on Leonard, Benitez, Hagler, Hearns, and Barkley. Pacman hasnt even taken on Martinez or Mayweather yet. 2nd tiers back then like Cuevas, Palomino, Moore, and Kalule give Margarito, Cotto, and the shot version of Mosley a thrashing. I give Floyd and Manny the respect they deserve, but they have a chance to make their own Fab Four, but its laughable to compare them to the Fab 4 they afraid of each other except for Martinez. Its not until he kod Williams NOW hes too big. :yep

    Never again.

    The fact that Hagler beat all 3 of his great rivals, plus everyone else he fought, proves he is the GOAT.

    I always feel benitez deserves to be mentioned as well along the fab 4.
    The only modern thing that comes close is barrera-morales-pac-marquez, I still hope to see morales vs marquez after november even when morales is shot I still believe he can put on a good fight.
