the legendary 4 vs the other legendary 4...

[Shattered Jaw]

People are being too harsh on this guy. The smaller guys gave the better fights on average I think as well as the larger number of fights. Put your nostalgia to one side and fry up some objectivity once in a while...

FAIL!....... d-___-b

No, your post is a fail.

This is a decent comparison.

But I do think they made for much better fights overall than the old fab 4.

More exciting fights maybe!!!!!!!!!!

No is not!!!!!!!!

[Shattered Jaw]

Why is it not a decent comparison? All eight are great boxers and have produced legendary fights between them...

look, I'm not asking which of the four would beat the other four!
Obviously the oldies are in a bigger weight class.

What I'm asking is which 4 were better in terms of greatness and overall stamp on boxing.

I'm sorry if I dont know much about boxing history, I wasn't old enough to follow the old fab 4's careers. I've only seen their fights on youtube.

Well the oldies you mention 3 of them are top 10 ATG and the other is just outside the Top 10!!!!!!!

see this dude understands why i said "FAIL" and im sorry to the original poster.. i didnt mean to be so rude..lol and i understand that you werent around durin their time.. and i wasnt either.. but the thing is

like champbox says

Hearns, Leonard, and Duran are easily in the top 20-30 of ALL TIME GREATS..

Pacquiao isnt in the same league in terms of greatness....neither are the other 3 mexican legends these 4 are probably in the top 50 60 of all time greats

actually i think pacman is now a top 25 ATG and his wins over HOF comp put him at the very least in the same bracket as tommy hearns. whats more people have a tendency to exaggerate and romanticize the achievements of the old fab four.

anyways has anyone else spotted how boxing writer and journalists are always looking out for the next fab four. at one stage calz, toney, hopkins and RJJ were being labelled with the same title as well.

imo what made the intial fab four so good is that they were considered great fighters before they met each other. we have four good fighters in pac,JMM,morales and MAB and likewise with calz, hopkins, toney and RJJ but they all fight in weight classes that are more or less the same, because of that we dont see them clean out the division.

Not one of the other 4 could beat any of the legendary 4.....Any one of the fab 4 would KO any other of the others
