      Sugar Ray Leonard was the most complete in my opinion and thats purely because he beat all of the others mentioned. Leonard wasn’t my favourite after the Hagler fight but i guess only the judges can be blamed. I think they were all special in their own ways. I know them as the fabulous four though with Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran. These guys were something very special indeed and the amazing thing is that they were all part of the same era. I wonder how long each of them would have ruled as champions if they would have been around in an era on their own without the other three?

        Lets not start what? you asked why he wasn't #1 and I told you.

        Its a fact Duran was at his best at 135 and even past his best he still beat Leonard in the first fight.

        Hagler was at the tail end of his of his long riegn at the top. The thing that inspired Leonard to fight Hagler was Hagler's struggles with Mugabi. Like I said its still up for debate as to who won this fight its maybe the most contraversial fight in the history of boxing. Find me 10 boxing fans and ask them who won and 5 will say Leonard and 5 will say Hagler.

        Leonard was losing the Hearns fight until he caught him at the. Dont forget Hearns handed him an ass whoopin in the rematch. Even Ray admits he didn't deserve a draw.

        This is why he is behind Duran and Hagler p4p.

          I never said anything like that. What i was implying was that Hearns should have one victory over Leonard as well.
