We all know the golden age 4 kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran.
Who will be remembered as the kings of this era?
Mayweather
Pacquiao
Cotto
...
Who's the fourth? Canelo/GGG??? Ward??? Probably a little too early to say. Let's discuss.
If you mean great fighters around the same weight class who fought each other it would be
Mayweather
Pacquiao
Marquez
Cotto
If you mean the greatest 4 of this era it is without a doubt:
Mayweather
Pacquiao
Hopkins
Klitschko
(in no particular order)
Between those 4 we got 13 awesome action packed fights. Fights that showcased specific styles. Real grit and determination.
Ok..
But you said for there to be four kings they have to have all fought each other.
When did Morales and Marque fight?
I think there r too many disperse timeline for the new decades, I would put it like this...
Pacquiao, mayweather, klistcko, Calzaghe
New era...
Ggg, Gonzalez, kovalev, Anthony Joshua?...

Not the same Floyd fought these guys when they were has beens while using steroids
1. Pacquiao
2. Mayweather
3. Klitschko
4. Cotto/Marquez tie
Gonzalez, Crawford, GGG, Kovalev, Estrada and a hand full of others will carry the sport in the coming years.
pacquiao got KO'd by marquez lost to mayweather catchweighted every fighter he is most notable for even fought people coming off of losses and you name him the #1 over mayweather and marquez?
gyeah
When I think of the "4 kings" I think of fighters who faced each other in their primes and gave us great fights.
1. Morales
2. Barrera
3. Pacquiao
4. Marquez
Same with you. People will always remember rivalries. It is actually the little version of Leonard, Hearns, Hagler and Duran. Four Atgs fighting each other (except Marquez-Morales).
wlad, pac, may and cotto
canelo? :lol1:, 2 of his noteworthy wins are controversial, maybe add cotto to the controversy after tomorrow too. his resume cant even be compared to nonito or ward. now , if you base it on popularity and being a hypejob , he wins hands down
pissboy don't belong either, pac is his only ticket to the conversation and maybe the MAB win
You should not be able to include HW's..
Otherwise Mike Tyson should clearly edge out one of the fab 4 also.
So Wlad aside, we have 4 definites imo...
Manny Pacquaio
Floyd Mayweather
Sergei Kovalev
Gennady Golovkin
Saul Alvarez? Still a big question mark to take it over the 2 Slavic bruisers.
LOL at Miguel Cotto being a top 4! Even if he beats Saul it wouldn't be enough!
Floyd
Manny
Klit
Rigondeux
No way is Cotto or GGG near that list.
Ward needs to put in a lot of work but can be done
I out rigo because I don't see him losing
Rigondeux?!? Too soon man. He's a world class boxer but he has a lot more to do

If we're talking PPV Kings, then the next name on that list would be either Canelo or Marquez. I think they have defined this era and they are on their way out. Skill wise nobody else compares the those four. In terms of dominance, we would have to add Wlad

Wlad, Floyd, JMM and Pac. The era is almost over. It' simon it's death throws anyway.
what exactly is cotto the king of?
he lost his big fights
he's popular because of nationality mostly
you would mention guys like wlad and hopkins long before him but... most of the people on here only know welterweight exists and made an account after seeing the manny pacquaio line at footlocker
