    4-0 must be too much. But i think they can really win at least 3-1.
    Hagler was a god at his weight, Hearns went through the weights with ease because of his frame and power, Duran was a beast at lightweight probably the greatest, Leonard had a short prime but only SRR could beat him at his best. As great as your fab 4 are, they are no match for the Fab 4.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Barrera was a great. Okay some were able to beat him, but he was able to beat some of them and others too. He was a great fighter, I don't think there is much room to fall out on that. Morales is great. Pac is great. They are all pretty great in their own particular ways.

    Amir Khan is not great. And he is bald. But could be great, unlikely though.

    Thats a lie. Plain and simple. A bald-faced lie.

    Like it or not, the guy was strong, tough and had a great technique. He also accomplished in the ring what 95% of the other boxers will not even come close to achieve. I've never been a fan of the guy but I have to recognize all the achievements he collected over the years and anybody who says that he was shit obviously is either a twat or is overwhelmed by a shallow subjectivity.

    Legend!

    7 world titles in a career spanning 4 seperate decades and 9 different weight classes. Not many can do that!

    He was from an era when the best fought the best instead of cherry picking washed up weight drained leftovers. He took guys zeros and thats why he is one of the greatest ever.
