Due to a plethora of exciting, young talent across American boxing in recent years -- which included a handful of breakout, 20-something stars with huge social media followings -- the rush was on to declare a nickname for the group to define them historically.
The 1980's, of course, were largely dominated by a four-pack of Hall-of-Fame fighters collectively known as "The Four Kings," who went on to produce nine memorable fights against one another over a 10-year span. That group consisted of "Sugar" Ray Leonard, "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran.
