Depends a lot on the contexts. If you mean Manny/Duran at 135 a piece, that might be an interesting fight. Mayweather would be facing one of the few taller, longer fighters in Hearns that he could possibly face. Leonard would abuse ODLH. Hopkins/Hagler is a good ass matchup.
Duran vs Pacquiao at 140 would be one of the most exciting fights ever to of happened in fantasy land. Duran is the favorite but Pacquiao at 140 and below is tazmanian devil but Duran's pressuring skills would probably get to Pacquiao.
However Pacquiao at 140 is knowledgeable in fighting off the back foot and has shown he can pick guys apart fighting backwards but Duran is a jack of all trades.
Oscar is going to be too stationary and straight forward to outbox Leonard.
80's ****s all over the current era, real proper hard men.
I don't view Hopkins as a current era fighter he's one of the vintage guys but I don't think his middleweight version of himself would be able to handle what Hagler has to offer.
That's your opinion. What I do know is that Hopkin's is a hustle fighter at best. He's an A Level fighter but he's no Marvin Hagler. You have no idea what you're talking about, AT ALL. Hagler's up jab is one of the most dangerous and effective punches in history. His jab was like a right hand. He threw it with precision and power. Hopkin's is not on Hagler's level, skill-wise. FACT. And you are giving Oscar too much credit. Nobody on here thinks he would even win three rounds against arguably the greatest fighter in history. SRL would be too fast, too strong, too smart, and too tough for Oscar. Oscar is my boy but I'm not a Fanboy. I am realistic. Hopkin's KO'ed him with a body shot. SRL could KO you to the head or body. That's another FACT. And Manny gets KO'ed. No version of Manny, who is my favorite fighter today, goes 12 rounds with Duran. Floyd would do what to Hearns????????? LoL! You cannot be serious!? Floyd is not as good or as tough as the media or his fans try and make him. This is the same guy who gets hit by fighters with good jabs. Hearns had a GREAT jab. Floyd is hittable by highly skilled fighters. Why do you think he avoids them????? Floyd gets KO'ed. There is nothing he could do to the monster Hearns. He is not an animal. That's what you need to be to beat any of the big four. You shouldn't even try arguing with someone on my level. It's not even fair really. I eat, sleep, and breathe boxing, kid.
Your nostalgic bias is clear to see and you obnoxious font says more than I need to about you.
Hagler may have been a force in the ring but he was not smart. Hopkins beats 10/10. Like really telling me how Hopkins is gonna lose to a Jab over 12 rds? In his prime? No, he won't. He also won't be there for Haglers combos and will land his right hand. It'll be close but a clear UD for B-Hop.
Oscar can't compete with Leonard? Have you watched both men's careers? Leonard has had trouble with far inferior fighters to Oscar. Go watch the Mosley fights and tell me again about how Leonard is gonna blast him out.....It'll be a war or a close decision, Oscar gives everyone a fight at 147.
Once again , Duran who has been dropped,beaten and Knocked out but can't possibly lose to someone with quicker hands, faster feet and legitimate power at 147? You are so ****ing biased. This is a close one I agree and if Duran is smart he will win. But when was Duran ever smart? He will go to war with Manny and Manny's punches will get there first.
Which Floyd is hittable? The 33 year old? The 38 year old? So prime Hearns but Old Floyd? Because that's fair? Watch Hearns turn like a truck every time Benitez moves his feet and now imagine every time Hearns turns there's a laser quick left hook or lead right hand busting him up. I'm yet to see these great display of reflexes that Hearns shows that's supposed to completely neutralise the imperceptible Mayweather? Could Hearns catch Floyd? Yeah of course! But aren't you's kinda sick of betting on a guy "catching" Floyd, just to be disappointed?
Listen Old Man, all the fights you stayed up watching as a Kid are on Youtube, so stop presuming to have some kind of knowledge over young people because it's pretty pathetic though not as much at you talking about your "level".
