If Pac and PBF both spent their primes in the Fab Four Era...

[sicko]

What makes you think they make it out of 140 which was Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello ERA at that time

Who retires with the better resume?

Discuss.

I assume that the term Fab Fourrefers to Leonard, Hearns, Hagler and Duran. First of all, that description lacks credibility. Duran only won one significant fight at 147 and above. That was the first Leonard fight. He lost every other significant above 147, including the rematch to Leonard. Losing to the best fighters of the era does not make you great, so there is no such thing as a Fab Four if you are including Duran in that mix.

Second, this poll makes no sense. Mayweather spent his prime fighting at 130 and 135, in spite of what the clowns on this site want to believe. To compare him to the Fab Three who spent their primes and entire careers fighting between 147 and 160 is illogical.

At 135, Mayweather, in his prime, would have KO'd or destroyed Duran in his prime at the same weight. At 147, Mayweather would have beaten Duran as decisively as he beat Pacquaio. At 147, Mayweather would have lost to Leonard and Hearns. Not because he wasn't as good as those two, but because 147 is not his best weight and Leonard and Hearns would have had a significant advantage over him.

As far as Pacquaio is concerned, he would have lost to Duran at 135 and Leonard and Hearns at 147 even if they all were in their primes at the time of the fight.

We don't even need to talk about Hagler at 160 because that scenario is totally ridiculous.

I think, all things being equal, Aaron Pryor is the only fighter at 140 or below who could have beaten Mayweather if they were both in their primes. It would have been a 50/50 fight.

Floyd takes Pryor's soul.

Why do people bother commenting on fighters they know nothing about?

Duran was an ATG career LW who stepped up to take on one of the greatest WW's of all time in his prime. He got Ko'd by Hearns, but also the gave one of the greatest Middleweights ever a tough tough fight.

Also no other significant wins 147 and above? How about prime Iran Barkley at MW? Or Palomino?

Duran the weak link is he?

Pac vs Arguello and Pryor are mouthwatering fights

[Dip_Slide]

Even though moving up multiple weight classes has been done before that time, I don't think Floyd or Pacquiao would've done it, I think Floyd stops at 140 max and Pacquiao at 130 max, fighters especially welterweights were much bigger than today's welterweights.

I wouldn't count them out against anybody though especially Floyd, but tough tell who beats who. I think both Pacquiao and Mayweather beat Duran, however I think Aaron Pryor would've been a huge problem for both guys.

Well said. I agree completely.
