    I would watch them in the order they fights actually happened, as it adds more context to the fights. Too bad there weren't a couple more Duran fights thrown into the mix. I understand that's it's called the 4 Kings, but it would be nice if they threw in the Duran vs De Jesus trilogy, or a couple of fights with Benitez (who really was the 5th King). But I guess that's what the documentaries are for.

    Well I thought Palomino - Duran fight was good. A bit one sided but if you want to see a master display of feints this is the fight.

    Hearns/Benitez, SRL/Benitez, Benitez/Palomino are all worth watching. Pretty long list actually.

    I'll keep them in mind to watch i just want to watch some great boxing fights 2 boxers giving it everything going at each other likes there's no tomorrow that's why this box set appealed to me it said

    The 1980’s was a boxing decade ruled by 4 fighters. Unlike many of the boxers today, these four ring warriors willingly put their titles and reputations on the line with each other to prove their greatness.

    that sold it to me!

    If I had a friend who wanted to know what boxing was about, and had to pick one fight to demonstrate what boxing skills can do, I'd pick the Duran - Barkley fight. Barkley was 6'1 and was a huge middleweight in his prime with enough power to knock out Hearns, while Duran was about 5'6, 38 years old, far less power, far less reach, far less everything, except two things. Boxing skills and heart and yet he won the fight. I thought it was an amazing performance.

    It should be the five kings. Benitez is short changed. I guess because he didn't fight Hagler

    I could be wrong but I'm gonna assume you aren't really here to ask about fights, this is just an advertising ploy.

    It might even be you who owns the website in question.

    Well unless you buy the DVD's a la carte you have the luxury with the box set of ignoring their sequencing and watching them in the proper chronological order, if you feel that's important. :conf
