Your favourite fighter of the 80's?

Duran,Tyson,Leonard,Hearns,Sanchez,Chavez,Hagler

 

so basically he'd do a bonecrushet smith

 

:rofl

 

Tyson

 

No. He's just an emmanuel stewardism fan.
I think Steward never discovered an very young(13-14 years old) talented heavyweight
hope.These Tyson haters could repeat-without own ideas- the stewardism blah-blah only.
Funny Tyson outjabbed the 6'5" Tucker: Some Tyson hater's outcome: he had always problem with the tall fighters.Because he couldn't knock Tucker out.
Tyson destroyed the 6'5" Biggs.Maybe some Tyson haters' outcome: .Tyson was one-dimensional.And he had always problem with the tall fighters.
Tyson beat two times the prime tall Ruddock.Angry outcomes: Where is his aura?
Now he is ****.He couldn't fight the tall guys.
The post-prison Tyson destroyed the tall 247 pounds ripped muscular Bruno or Seldon.
Some haters:These fighters were in fear.Hmm.. The aura strikes back again.
These haters have found the aura again.
-Tyson destroyed the tall big(what's the definiton?)Golota's skull.Golota had big health
problem by this. Maybe some haters:Lennox beat Golota very easily.(I think they don't talk about Golota's big knee problem .) and Tyson beat bums.
By haters: All in all about Tyson: He never had chance against Lewis.He's so big and etc.

 

I'm the opposite. I was all over Leonard in the 80's, now not so much.

 

Thomas Hearns...
hm-Tyson, Curry,Koopmans,Chavez,Whitherspoon.

 

I can't pick one-

Sugar Ray Leonard

Thomas Hitman Hearns

Mike Tyson

were my 3 favorite to watch.

I also liked to watch-

Larry Holmes

Ray Boom Boom Mancini

Marlon Starling

Evander Holyfield had some good fights in the late 80's as well.

 

The fab 4 for sure, plus Tyson were pretty much my favourites.

Started watching boxing because of Hagler, than became, and still am, a huge Duran fan. I must admit I watch a lot of Duran just last night I watched his fights against Moore and Barkley

 

Mike Tyson would stand out at #1 for me in the 80's. I was only 11 years old when he ht the scene and was blown away by his ability. Hearns and Duran would be at a not so distant 2nd and 3rd as Hearns power with that right hand and abilty to bang made him one of my favs of all time, and while normally enough cannot be said about Roberto it was simple. He was MEAN MEAN MEAN!! And I love him for it!

 

Interesting, considering most of your other picks. What was it about Moochie that appealed to you?

 

MARVIN HAGLER:deal A mans man...

Best fight I ever saw was when he thrashed Hearns...

 

Most of my favs were on the go in the 80s: Duran, Hagler, Sanchez, Spinks, Qawi, Arguello, Nelson, Saad, Holyfield and the like.

 

I understand where he's coming from: his chin, courage and sublime defensive skills.
