    I always enjoy watching that bout but it's not my favourite Fab 4 fight. I would give that accolade to Sugar Ray Leonard's first fights with Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns.

    Even the younger middle version of Archie would be a terror to fight.

    Very true,mate. Archie was a one off.

    First of all, excellent question for a thread … been around here a long time and never heard it before. Two terrific fighters but stylewise I’d favor Archie but haven’t seen him enough at 160 … Hagler could be slightly less than Marvelous when a highly skilled guy fought him as Duran and Leonard showed and Moore was exceptional.

    As always, Hagler is over-estimated.
