Leonard
Hagler
Duran
Hearns

Hagler won that fight against SRL
In Duran's case, he was the smallest of the four, he was a lightweight champ moved all the way up to super middle getting titles in 3 more divisions, beating Leonard and giving Hagler a war in the process, not any guy standing a mere 5'7" gets to do that. He gets props for balls.

Duran started at 16 and was fighting at 120. Mayweather at 16 he was 106. Duran won a title 48 pounds above starting weight at 16. Mayweather also won a title at 154, 48 pounds above starting weight.


Oscar AT 154 >> Anyone Duran fought at 168

Yet no credit like Duran gets

there's no 120 weight class , flawless.

i know you looked at boxrec and it said he weighed 120 but that's still the 122 division , super bantam.

anyways......big difference between being 16 and fighting pro fights against grown men and being 16 fighting in the amateurs against other kids.

floyd is no duran.

I know just saying he weighing at 120. Fighting at 16 against bums is nothing great anyone can do that.

Mayweather win against Oscar is beating than anyone Duran beat at SMW. They were both 48 pounds above the weight they were at 16

Both Floyd and Duran fought at 130 (although Duran fought a couple of fights at 126) when they were 18-19 years old.

No real size difference between the two except that Mayweather has the advantages in height and reach.

Resume goes to Duran.

Talent goes to Leonard IMO.

Hagler gets honorable mention for being the best of those two combined I think... not the best resume, not the best talent, but the best when they are combined...

Hearns was great too, just not the best.

I voted for Leonard, which is weird, because I usually err resume.
