What current fighters are most like the Fab 4?

[Nagabilly]

Thread may seem blasphemous but just for fun, what current fighters are most like the fab 4 of the 80s?

For Duran I gotta go with Lucas: Brutal body punching, tendency to roughhouse, and inside skills.

No idea for Hearns, Leonard, and Hagler

[IronDanHamza]

There's really no one I can think of who are similar to those guys.

I wouldn't say Matthysse is similar to Duran either.

[bojangles1987]

I honestly can't think of a fighter that resembles any of them. Those are all very unique fighters.

Maybe Wlad is a heavyweight Hearns? Big, great jab, crushing right hand, questionable chin. That's the only thing I can think of, and it's not a good comparison.

[The Big Dunn]

No one right now. It was a unique and special time when 3 of the top 15-20 boxers ever and Hearns are fighitng at the same time.

[gingerbreadman]

Marquez reminds me of Hagler on feel. Hard-nosed technician with power, Hagler was just slightly better all-around coupled with that chin for the ages

[KickAzz]

right now there are no comparisons. the most dominant boxers are too far apart in weight...

[toshmurph]

I honestly don't think there's anybody like them at this moment in time.

If I had to be pushed I would say Abner Mares is like Duran, maybe a bit wilder. A prime Cotto as well. I'd say Matthysse but he's not as quick on his feet. The late Edwin Valero was Duran without the technique

Leonard had an aura of invincibility about him, so in that respect Mayweather. Not style wise

Hagler was a tough SOB with power so maybe Golovkin.

Hearns was a freak, plain and simple. He was too big and rangy to be a Welter weight. So Paul Williams had similarities there. And isn't there some 20 year old guy at 154 who's 6'5/6'6? He'd fill that criteria.

Again, other than Duran I'm not comparing styles just aspects of them.
