    Which Fab 4 opponent gives Floyd the toughest time?

    Duran - 135
    Leonard - 147
    Hearns - 154
    Hagler - 160

    I'll say Hearns surprisingly... he was one of the worst of the fab 4 (which is still better than almost anyone to ever fight), but his jab, power and reach would just give Mayweather fits IMO.

    Hagler a close second because of size alone. Leonard 3rd and Duran 4th, also because of their size.

    Thoughts?
    61
    Roberto Duran at 135
    11.48%
    7
    Ray Leonard at 147
    13.11%
    8
    Thomas Hearns at 154
    36.07%
    22
    Marvin Hagler at 160
    39.34%

      I think Hagler the size would be too much. Against Duran at 135 would be the fight he most likely wins

          what?

          i think all 4 beats him and soundly.

          no point in going into specifics really.

          hearns was too tall and powerful.

          hagler is too big and powerful.

          leonard was bigger , had a chin floyd couldn't hurt and just as skilled.

          duran and floyd are the closest in size but floyd's toughest fight to date was castillo. there is no boxing skill or attribute category that i can think of where castillo had even a slight edge on roberto.

          floyd gets ktfo by all 4.

            Then who does it the best... most one-sided... etc.

            Who gives him the toughest time?

            EDIT: LOL at you saying you won't go into specifics, and then list why each fighter beats him.

              I give Floyd little chance against any of them.

              Duran would do everything Castillo did except twice as good. Too powerful and too relentless for Floyd.

              The others are just simply way too big. Hagler and Hearns blow him out of there pretty early and I think Leonard probably wins a decision against him.

              Just my take.

                What did Castillo do to Mayweather exactly lose a UD to a injured Mayweather. What happened in the rematch.

                People use that first fight too much and ignore that Mayweather was injured during it and still won.

                  Floyd beats Duran IMO. at the lower weight classes he was too good. he was agressive at times and we all no his a defensive master. the rest are too big for him though, although his smartness wouldn't see him get batterd in all of them, he would rather run for 12, and pot-shot which can be very effective for him as he does it the best.

                    Leonard had some power... I don't know if it goes to the cards.

                    I agree with this... injury or not, Floyd fought like a ****ing idiot...

                    He put his back on the ropes about a million times more than he usually does.
