Best Fight of the 1980s

Top 5 probably looks like:

Hagler-Hearns
Duran-Leonard
Pryor-Arguello
Leonard-Hearns
Leonard-Duran II

 

good list but leonard-duran 2 wasn't really a great fight. holyfield-dokes is well above that

also as great as hagler-hearns is, i'd switch it with pryor-arguello

 

I thought it was, if only because Leonard showed how great he could be at psychological warfare. And how the fight would turn out if he fought it his way.

 

haha, i wish duranimal was. leonard did well but i have trouble even calling that a fight. leonard may have had duran's number: but it was a fat, out of shape duran who was actually quite close on the cards. prime for prime, duran showed who the best was in the first fight.

 

Ramirez-Rosario II was also a good one.

I voted Pryor-Arguello but Duran- SRL, SRL-Hearns 1 and Hearns-Hagler are all very close for me. Great fights...

 

Voted Duran-Leonard.
Such a masterful performance from both.

 

Unbelievable fight
