    It’s like video games and movies. Every generation before puts the ones below them down. With modern day medicine and training plus it’s not a part time job I can see this generation beating a lot of the past greats

      These guys are a lot bigger then the ones from the past. Just look at them? Ali vs. Fury???

      Ali wouldn’t know what to do if Lewis and Fury grabbed him and dropped weight the entire fight. His lil @ss couldn’t carry them for long...

          Lot of love for Alvarez. Some think he beats 3 of the 4.

          Canelo a very good fighter but was schooled in 2013.

            Barkley is 6'1" with 74" reach while Canelo is only 5'8" with 70" reach. Hearns is a big problem for Nelo.

              He'd give Hagler a war that Hagler would win.

              He'd probably have real problems with Hearn's length and skill and lose a clear decision. If he lands the right punch, though...

              I'm torn on a Duran fight. Alvarez could absolutely win that one.

              I'm too anti-Leonard to talk about that one with any objectivity. But really, if Leonard beats Hagler and Hearns, it's hard to imagine Alvarez winning.

                People are going to underrate the **** out of Hearns here when he's almost definitely the hardest match-up for Alvarez.

                  I don’t understand this either.

                  Floyd doesn’t have Hearns reach and height and still 12-0’d Alvarez

                  Why wouldn’t Hearns give him a good boxing lesson and likely hurt him several times throughout their fight

                    Canelo loses to all 4

                    Hearns and Leonard are his worst match ups stylistically
                    Duran and Hagler would be competitive but they'd beat him

                      I wonder who would get the 118-110 card between him and Leonard.
