Ya'll Only Feel Comfortable Calling the Fab 4 ATG's

Get off it already

 

In that case ur in trouble. This is an argument you can't possibly win. I sure as hell am not going anywhere

 

You beat me too it. I'd hate to say Pacquiao cause it's obvious. Perhaps Marquez. There are a lot of HOF guys, very few ATG'S. Guys like Cotto, and Klitschko are fringe guys. They are somewhat debatable between HOF and ATG

 

Here's the boxing experts view of where the fab 4 belong. Try Learning something.

http://www.ibroresearch.com/?p=434 Leonard 2nd best WW of all time. 12th p4p all time

Hearns 8th best WW of all time

http://www.ibroresearch.com/?p=443 Duran 2nd best LW of all time.

http://www.ibroresearch.com/?p=424 Hagler 6th best MW of all time.

http://www.ibroresearch.com/?p=463 Duran 7th best p4p fighter of all time.

Nobody who's followed boxing for any length of time can imagine Mayweather getting in the ring with Hagler.

Hell, he wouldn't even get in the ring with Pac. But he is an ATG just not in the very elite category due to his average comp.

 

I got Duran as the best lightweight but I'm not surprised Leonard was first. And I agree Mayweather would have never gotten into the ring with someone like Hagler

 

You answered your own question when you said "Duran lost to Hearns, Hagler, Leonard and Benitez".

When has Floyd stepped in with such class as those names - at there peak?

Duran dominated a division, then fought them all whilst going up in weight... beating one of the greatest pound for pound of all time in Leonard & going 15 rounds losing on a decision to arguably the greatest MW of all time.

Hagler didn't have to move through the weights to prove himself. He was involved in big fights, super fights even at MW.

 

I too have Duran at number 1, but obviously a case can be made for Leonard being number 1. Interesting considering Duran ranks higher than him P4p.

 

I thought Duran gave Hagler a tougher fight than Leonard. I liked Leonard but the cheap things like fighting Hagler out of his prime and getting everything he wanted, Mayweather has taken to a new level

 

True. Probably due to the list of guys he fought at higher weights. That was the second half of his career

 

Yup that's the only way this makes sense. :good

 

duran started at 118. he beat every man he ever faced at 135.

losing to guys like leonard, hearns, benitez and hagler....he had the balls to fight those guys in the first place. he's the first to beat leonard. he went all the way up to middleweight to fight hagler!!! no catchweight b.s. and he barely lost that fight. also...he won the title at 160. let that sink into your brain and marinate for a little while.

duran fought a bunch of guys he wasn't favored to beat...and beat them or at the very least held his own.

floyd won't even fight a guy he isn't favored to beat. his win over canelo isn't on par with duran's win over moore. his win over dlh isn't on par with duran's win over leonard. hell....floyd wants no part of 160.

duran cleaned out 135...then went up to win titles against the best at 147, 154 and 160.

he was 70-1 when he fought leonard the 2nd time and he avenged his only defeat by ko.

 

floyd is the edwin moses of boxing.
