I assume you're talking about Duran, Hagler, Hearns and Leonard. If so, I've never heard of them referred to as a unit other than as "The Fabulous Four". As for Phoney Phloyd bearing comparison to them, that's pure poppy delirium, he wouldn't stand a chance, but he'd get some good Track & Field exercise -until they cornered him.
I don't suppose any of you know who the original Four Horsemen were, I think somewhere in the New Testament. I recall often reading about the famous American Football "Four Horsemen of Notre Dame" coached by Knute Rockne. Ronald Reagan had a big part in it. I saw it a few times on Late Night Movies. He played the part of The Gipper.Comment

I think a prime 147 pound Hearns before he outgrew that weight class had the perfect blend of great hand speed, boxing skill, height, reach, great left jab and a lightning bolt deadly right hand to knock Mayweather out. I think a prime Mayweather against a prime Duran or Leonard are pretty close fights that Mayweather might win or lose. I favor Mayweather over Benitez. Mayweather would not have a chance in hell of beating a prime Hagler in my opinion.Comment

Hagler - Too big for Floyd. Floyd's literally fighting a Middleweight Saturday night, but Hagler would've been too much for Floyd.
Leonard - I think Leonard would have a tougher fight than he did with Floyd Sr, but I still see Leonard being in his prime at 147 with speed, movement, power, and size for a Welter and I don't think Floyd has his way at all with that Leonard.
Duran - At Welter, you can make a case for Floyd. Now, the Duran who showed up in Montreal may give Floyd a lot of problems, but out of all the guys at Welter among these name, I give Floyd the best shot against Duran.
Hearns - Hearns was a freakish Welterweight. 6'1 w/ 78" reach and could fit in the frame of a 147lb fighter. This is probably (not counting Mayweather fighting Hagler at Middleweight) the most dangerous fight at Welter for Floyd.Comment
