Who was better....

What makes these lists so subjective,it depends what you want to see out of a guy that determines where you rank them
Leanord is a dazziling fighter to watch
Hearns had a mean streak 7 miles wide and twice as deep
Hagler and Duran were more complete fighters
So any attempt to rate them against each other will get tainted with your own subjective desires for what you wish to see from a fighter

Obviously I like Leonard, but besides him I appreciate all the others equally, and I like them about the same. Just IMO Hagler wasn't as good as the rest p4p, not that he was way worse, but he wasn't as good.

I feel the same about Hagler. I would also take any of them over Hopkins. They were all crowd pleasers!

p4p I think Hearns would have easily used his height and speed to outbox Hopkins, maybe even just him naturally going up to middleweight how he was.

p4p obviously Leonard is better than Bernard, it would be interesting though because HOpkins deals with speed and combinations so well, he was also pretty quick hismelf, but once again Hopkins beats the Leonard who came up to middleweight, but not a natural middleweight version of Leonard, Leonard against guys his own size was similar to Calzaghe, only a much sharper puncher, considerably faster, and better technique.

I think Hagler-Hopkins would be a great and even matchup. Hopkins has that ability to spoil any offense in the sport, he did it to some of the best offensive fighters in this generation (Trinidad, RJJ, Calzaghe, even a sharp ODLH had amazing offensive skills), also he spoiled an accurate puncher in Winky Wright who reminds me a lot of Hagler except that he was quicker and replaced power for defensive skills. Either way both of these guys can adapt in the ring like nobodies business, they both are street smart in there, and they both are amazingly well rounded.

vs Duran: I think its a toss up, I think it depends of their styles mesh, perhaps Hopkins' movement gives Duran a ton of problems, but I am not sure if even Hopkins being one of the best inside fighters I have ever seen could match Duran in the furnace.

I admit these guys skills, I mean Hopkins is one of my top 5 favorite fighters ever, and I still think he wouldn't fair so well against these three.
