80's History Lesson on the FAB 4

[Doctor_Tenma]

That's the biggest issue imo. Within the divisions there is usually only one great fighter.... in some cases no great fighters (see 140). So it's hard to have super fights, Chad v Ward was top of each division facing but at a lower weight, so draining comes in. The only super fight really would've been Pac V Mayweather and due to them both being stingy ****s, it never happened. Those two are a cut above the rest and the only one to really be considered the greats of the era, and in the same weight class....

People don't understand that, that said I'm glad the whole 'Mayweather hasn't faced a prime HOF' has subsided, one of the ******est discussions one could have on these forums

Floyd did fight alot of hall of famers but none except corrales and castillo where at their prime or in their weight class ie hatton, jmm

Floyd is tremendously talented, best of his era, but like roy jones before him he chose not to chance the big superfights

if only ****s like donaire, rigo and mares were at 147, epic sht there

Tito, oscar, mosley, vargas and ike were the fab 5. There were some great battles between them even though some didnt fight and there were some dud fights namely oscar-tito

After seeing donaire vs rigo.. I wouldn't want donaire at 147, floyd would do much of the same to him. Rigo, Floyd, Pac, Ward, Mares all in the same weight class? It'd be the golden era of boxing.

The sad thing is this Top Rank/Golden Boy nonsense makes an era like that one even more unlikely these days. Imagine if Hearns and Leonard never met because they were on different TV channels.

[bojangles1987]

I've only seen a very select few that I ignore anyways say Mayweather beats Hearns or Leonard. And Hagler's never even come up, anyone that thinks Mayweather stands a chance against Hagler is trolling hard.

He might beat Duran, but a lot more people think he doesn't.

[bojangles1987]

It's a horrific crime against the boxing world that Mayweather vs. Pacquiao didn't happen. One of the worst black eyes in the history of the sport.
