    Or U should keep it at welterweight & replace Hagler with Benitez or something.
    But which one started their career at Super featherweight or Flyweight?

        Imagine Hearns-Duran

        and then imagine the best version of DLH doing that to the Roberto Duran in 76


        INCREDIBLE!

          I can't believe he said that. And, whats crazy is that he's serious.

          That's just not knowing about the past fighters that's all that is. You can't tell he hasn't watch boxing for long.

          I don't know which of his opinion is worse. Thinking Oscar would do Duran like Hearns did or thinking Linares would have been able to beat Pacquiao at 130?

              A revised list of:

              80s: Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Duran

              90s/00s: Mayweather, Pac, Chavez, Whitaker

              That would be a lot closer than the original match ups.

                4 Horseman of 90's/2000's - Mayweather, De La Hoya, Mosley, and Pacquiao


                IMO, I would say the 4 Horseman of the 80's fought a tougher schedule. But I think the 4 horseman of 90's/2000's were P4P the better fighters....
                why is de la hoya and mosely in but no RJJ?

                also Hagler, hearns leonard and duran are not getting beaten by any of the guys on the 2nd list

                  See the 2nd page...

                  We're going by an elite group of fighters that has also fought each other. For example, everyone in the 80's group fought each other. Everyone in the 90's/2000's group fought each other except for Pac/May...

                  Despite what you guys say, DLH fought everyone that he could possibly fight from 1992-2008: Whitaker, Trinidad, Chavez, Camacho, Mosley, Mayweather, Pac, Mayorga, Quartey, Vargas, Hopkins, and the list goes on. The same applies to Mosley...

                      De La Hoya I feel is underrated sometimes. Like you say he fought everybody, can't think of anyone he ducked off the top of my head and he was a 6 weight world champ. The problem I've always had with him is for all the "super-fights" he was involved in never lived up to the hype, and most of the time he lost them. In my opinion De La Hoya should've stayed at 147lbs longer. He was a beast at 147.
