    Arguellos is quality too: Olivares, Mancini, Pryor 1&2, Chacon, Boza Edwards, Castillo, Ramirez, many more. Also some great opponents to watch.

    Duran. One of those fighters you just have to see as much of as possible. Enjoy the Spanish commentary.

    The Naz fight ain't that exciting if you ask me. One-sided schooling.

    Best thing about a Barrera set is the pre-Morales days at lower weights IMO. Some quality stuff there. And the Morales trilogy of course!!!

    But Duran is the best fighter out of the options, with the most legendary fights and opponents, spanning many weights.

    You'll get te dissection of Palomino, the first man to defeat Leonard, NO MAS!, Hearns legendary K.O, his Herculean effort against Hagler, his amazing tenure as the greatest lightweight of all time, his patient battering of Guts Ishimatsu, THE DE JESUS TRILOGY, Kirkland Laings finest victory, the greatest defensive fighter of all time Benitez, and, most importantly, one of THE greatest wars of all tome, Duran vs Iran Barkley.

    As much as I like the other three, and believe me I do, Duran is the greatest of the options and the most important career set for any boxing enthusiast IMO: a true master of the sweet science and one bad ass mo'fo :good

    Get Alexis Arguello.

    A absoloutly brilliant technician and a fighter the purists can appreciate, also in some brilliant wars that the casual can appreciate. Also one of the nicest gusy ever, and my favrouite fighter. Get it, or else Ill force you to watch a Johnny Nelson career set.

    It is quality, and Duran is the one truly great (I.e top ten) that we have comprehensive footage throughout his whole career. Even him against legendary Fetherweight Ernesto Marcel is available!!! Amazing fight with pre-135 teenage Duran, who wins a stupid stoppage but was ahead by one round going into the last.

    I'm pretty sure the site I mentioned earlier does 60-odd Duran fights for £20.

    But as Greg says, Arguello is amazing. Possibly my favourite fighter ever (Joe Louis edges him as of this moment) but I still say: Go for Hands of Stone Duran!

    Even better than Arguello! IMAGINE THAT!!!
