sugar at first, then Marvelous, then Hearns before eventually appreciating Roberto for being a ****ing monster..
Marvin! My old man was a Hagler fan, and the first fight I actually remember seeing was Hagler-Hearns. I had thought all boxing must have been that good, not even realizing how special the encounter I witnessed actually was.
I voted Duran but all 4 are amongst my favourite fighters, Leonard & Hearns are joint 2nd & Hagler is 4th but as I said, there is not a lot between all 4.
I have to admit, when I entered your thread I was thinking for some reason of the mostly Mexican "FAB FOUR" lol. Juan Manuel Marquez Erik Morales Manny Pacquiao Marco Antonio Barrera (as if you couldn't tell, he's my pick in this poll) In your real poll it's a no brain-er "The Marvelous one" Marvin Hagler.
Hagler beat all of them too, it still erks the **** out of me the judges gave that fight to Leonard! I was only 9 at the time, but I can still remember clear as day Hagler won the fight.
I'm sure my choice will be no surprise to people familiar with my views but the other three come in no order of preference as I hold them all in similar legendary status. I go through phases of prefering Duran,Marvin and Ricky Hatton although Duran might edge it.
I was 11, but my feelings are the same. I thought Hagler won, albeit in an extremely close contest. I've watched that fight and scored it several times since, and I always come out with Marvin ahead.
