    If Hagler/Hearns/Sugar Ray Leonard were fighting from 147-168 today......

    If those 3 were fighting today and in their primes who would be able to beat them at any of those 3 weight classes? My first 2 opinions are Andre Ward and maybe B=Hop. butt I honestly don't see too many people that would touch them. Actually maybe Manny and PBF at 147 also

      Ward would have a chance at 168 because he is good and big. 168 is not the right weight for those guys Hagler was a MW and Leonard and Hearns were at their best below that.

        It's weird how people always forget about duran, and IMO he was the best out of all those guys. I have duran in my top ten all time, maybe it's just me tho. Nobody right now could have beat those fighters today....

          I'm in the same boat. Imagine if Duran was naturally bigger?

          As for the OP, I think only Floyd has a chance at scoring a W on them.

              Yeah its crazy to think duran could have stayed at lightweight and prolly been 100-1. However, I don't think floyd would have had a chance against hearns (not enough power), srl (maybe), but duran no way mayweather has trouble with suffocating fighters, and duran might have been the best.

                If they were fighting in todays world there would be another outcry for the abolition of the sport. Alot of todays guys would be getting seriously injured if those three were fighting today. Floyd vs Tommy at 147, it would be a nightmare for Floyd until he regained cociousness. Serious mismatch........... Rockin'

                  No way Floyd beats a solid, top tier middleweight. He's too small.

                  Hearns knocks Floyd out, way too big and hard hitting.

                  Perhaps he'd give SRL a good fight but would still lose.
