In only seen these fights between the 4:

Duran - Leonard I
Hagler - Hearns

I also watched the 'Fabulous 4' dvd recently. I really want to see some more of the fights, as i think it was a great rivalry between the 4.

Id like to see more of Duran , thought he looked great.

Marvin!!

The greatest middleweight of all time!!

Awesome record,Granite chin, Great fighter.It still pisses me off how Leonard stole those rounds and got the nod over him. FIGHTING THE LAST 30s OF EACH ROUND DOES NOT WIN YOU A FIGHT!!

Hagler was such an amazing champion. Back in those days the middleweight division was absolutely amazing!

[Hearnsz]

Indeed that was an awesome time for middleweight boxing. Mostly I can easily pick the - in my eyes - better fighter between a few legends. But these 4 were really worth eachother.

I'd say:
Power:
1. Hearns
2. Duran
3. Hagler
4. Leonard

Boxing:
1. Leonard
2. Hagler
3. Hearns
4. Duran

Overall:
Thats the question in the poll... I'd say Hearns but I'm still not sure...

I go with Hagler all around.....But I'm Biased he's probably my all time afvorite fighter. I met him when I was 7 at a Boston Breakers game.......It was some sort of semi-pro football league they had back then. ICEMAN probably knows what I'm talking about but many others wouldn't.

Get him in your sig above Jeff Lacy then

Hearns for me, he was a great boxer and of course had the power. If I had to choose one of those fighters to watch it would be Hearns of course, you watch him you know youre gonna see someone get KTFO or him get it.

[Itlog]

Good times....... makes me want to watch the Hagler Hearns fight again. I'd go with the marvelous one even if I like SRL most among the four.

[Silencers]

I rank them like this:

1) Duran
2) Hagler
3) Leonard
4) Hearns

I put Duran at number one because him rising from lightweight to middleweight and winning titles along the way was an incredible achievement, pound for pound, he is the best of the four IMO.

It was hard to pick between Leonard and Hagler but I feel that Hagler accomplished more in his career than Leonard, I would probably rank Leonard above Hagler if he hadn't suffered the detached retina that kept him out of the ring.

Well thats for active fighters. Hagler, Lennox and Joe Louis are my all time favorites......
