    Might actually see floyd get beat up

    All fantasy though
    'Member what Hagler did to Hearns?

    That's basically how Pretty Boy Floyd would have done Hearns.

    And Hearns is my favorite of the "Four Kings".

      I agree he is the same level if we talk about skills.

      But I don`t believe Mayweather could beat anybody of 4 kings. Maybe Duran.- Just maybe.

        Only PBF was a LW , Hearns is too big, and could box and always had that hammer, Floyd would have to box out a perfect fight similar to his Canelo win he would need to be a Fox to beat Hearns and Leonard, Floyd is not really a WW and its a very tough call to have him beat Ray or Tommy because of the size, same size he beats them .

          Absolutely. As Leonard says every fighter is SUPPOSED to say they're the best ever because that confidence in yourself helps you overcome tough moments and tough fights.

          Floyd is NOT TBE, but hes up there with the best.

            At 147? Remember Floyd was a natural lightweight who was never considered a huge puncher and his peak weight was at 130. Thomas Hearns fought as high as a 190 lbs.

              I can see Floyd have a chance against Duran, but Leonard, Hearns and Hagler are too lethal.

                So you didn't watch it. OK.

                Marvin Hagler had some trouble early on. Later, he walked the Hitman down like nobody else before or after had walked him down.

                Purely on a skill-for-skill test, Hearns would have no answer for Pretty Boy. It'd be Chico Corrales level abuse.

                Leonard is the only one that is a toss up. PBF embarasses Duran and boxes circles around Hagler.

                  do you realise how ****** you sound here ? Your saying Mayweather who will be physically dwarfed by hearns would manage to do exactly the same as one of the toughest and strongest fighters in middleweight history ( Marvin hagler). A natural middleweight all his life and your saying Mayweather could have done exactly the same as hagler did.
                  a mayweather who could not stop cotto , guerrera , Berto you sir are a ****ing lunatic of the highest order

                    Hearns fought in like 5 divisions, he is 5 division champ and welterweight was his lowest division. So I suppose we are talking about Hearn -Mayweather at 147 or 154. Hearns fought Hagler at 160. No way 147 -154 Floyd has the power Hagler had, lol.

                    As I said, floyd would stand some chance against duran, because Duran was the smallest of 4 kings.

                      Floyd s got the skills but he hasn't got resume that takes him to that level. Floyd s on the level of haglerband Hearn s but not Duran and srl.
                      He wouldn't beat any prime versions of them though
