    I love Duran too......I don´t know why I pick Leonard, probably because he was one of the first Classic fighters I enjoyed when I started to watch the fighters from the past.......

    I was told by a close friend on hear..That Hearns broke his hand in the 1st round of the Haglar fight..But he told him not to stop the fight and to tell nobody. But just a few tears after Hearns last fight Tommy finally admitted it and said that was the hardest he'd ever been in his entire career and he really has no memory of that fight..Amazing!,,

    I am sure that Tyson will tell his kids that if they are miss behave Roberto Duran will get them.

    Hagler was one of the ultimate origanal weight divisions ultra ,super, uber champs. fought great fighters to work his way up the division, many thought that he should of been the champ before he got his shot, finaly got his shot than was robbed, year later went across the world to fight the champ in his back yard, with a very hostile crowd, KO'd the champ then the first fight he want is vs the guy he was robbed against, ko'd him then started koing all the top contenders so every one knew who the MV champ was. What every boxing champ should be like.

    Don't get me wrong, I liked all four of them a lot. I certainly don't dislike Leonard at all. He's just competing with 2 of my 10 favorites ever in Duran and Hagler, and Hearns kind of floats around the top 15. Leonard is inside my top 20 favorites though.
