Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran > Maywhatever

Whatever happened to coming out to beat that ass?

Different styles. If Mayweather never fought Pac, you could have said Pac>May with the same argument. Not anymore...

I'm just talking about worth-watching factor. Not a single memorable moment from tonights fight vs any of the fights of those above.

Floyd would beat the piss out of Kevin.

KD beats both Mayweather and Pac at b-ball at the same time

Wait, are Pac and Floyd on each others shoulders? If Manny bottoms I give them a shot.

Spoiler

 

[Warfist]

Just a different style

If boxing is what it once was...Mayweather would be in that mix of fighters, but he'd be sharing losses with the rest of them. No way he comes out unscathed against those warriors

Hearns/Hagler is known as one of boxings all time greatest fights.


Pac/May will never be known as that.

Mix and match. They pretty much all fought each other, and all were epic.

Leonard/Hagler, Hagler/Hearns, Hagler/Duran, Leonard/Duran, Hearns/Duran...

holy fuck... someone should just erase Pac/May from history completely in the shadow of these.

It wont be remembered in a good way that is for sure. For some reason I got a bad feeling about this fight once I saw Manny and Roach stopping in the walk out and taking a selife.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

I mean just go on YouTube and watch the 1st round of Hearns Hagler.


They were trying to end the fight in the first round. No pacing, just boxing the fuck outta each other.

Hagler trying for the body and Hearns hitting him with a huge bomb uppercut in the first. Hagler was hurt in the 1st and touched it out and won.


Like I said, this is KNOWN as one of boxings most elite fights of all times. Just watch it and Youll see why.

It's unbelievably awesome

A palate cleanser.

You want to get inside on a guy who's got height, reach and quickness? Get. The. Fuck. Inside.

I just youtube'd that fight a few minutes ago. Hot damn that first round. Now thats a fucking fight right there. Two warriors going at it.

Floyd has accomplished more than all of them. Just saying.

 

[greenchild]

nope, Floyd beats them all. Only SRR is greater as a welterweight

Sugar Ray Leonard and Hearns would probably both beat Mayweather.

Not sure. Floyd's best win was last night, a 8-4 decision over Pac, in which neither was in trouble, let alone close to being finished.

SRL has wins over Duran, Hagler, and Hearns, two of them finishes (though in all honesty, I thought Hagler beat SRL). Unless you rank Pac higher than Duran, Hagler and Hearns (and I'd put all three above Pac), Floyd's best win is worse than three of SRL's.

Floyd's biggest claim is going undefeated, but he doesn't have the quality of opponents that SRL (or Duran or Hearns let alone SRR) had. Its the same reason Marciano's run isn't as impressive as what Ali or Joe Louis did. And I think it hurts Floyd that he could only decision (and lose a third of the rounds in the process) Pac. Though I suppose that might mean I'm underrating Pac.

I didn't say Floyd had a better win. I said he's accomplished more. He's beaten more top fighters, held more titles etc.Saying "well beating Hagler is better than beating Mosley," Thats an oversimplification of both fighters careers.

 

[nac386]

Sugar Ray Leonard has 4 great wins. But his resume is top heavy, with not much else beyond those guys. Floyd's resume is middle heavy, with a dozen very good fighters. Where you rank their accomplishments just depends on which one of those things impresses you more.

I sort of think schooling Pac is as impressive as anything Leonard did.
I think consistency is more impressive than peaks. I'd rate Leonard's single wins better than Floyds. But Floyd didn't lose to an old LW when he was in his prime. Floyd is still beating P4Pers at an age when Leonard was a stepping stone.

I think Hatton, DLH, Mosley, Cotto , Marquez and Pac will all be remembered as greats though. Thats a quality list of HOF level opponents right there.

Then you have all those guys who were A class but not elite,like Hernandez, Baldomir, Gatti etc. Zab is iffy. Canelo was a good win.

I think Floyd has surpassed Leonard, Duran, Hagler and Hearns. I really do.
