    The 2000's 4 had more fights and more rounds of action among them all and close competition, but the 80's... come on... BOTH Montreal AND Hagler-Hearns? Those two fights alone are legendary



    Hagler-Hearns
    Duran-Leonard 1
    Leonard-Hearns 1
    Leonard-Hagler


    Barrera-Morales 1
    Pac-Marquez 1
    Morales-Pac 1
    Morales-Pac 3

    Top 4 wise, 80's. Overall, I like to think it pretty close

    Also forgive me for not seeing Leonard-Hearns II, after I saw Leonard-Duran III I figured the former would be just as boring

    I voted before thinking about the question and I'd probably go for the modern Fab 4. There was some epic encounters between the guys from the 80's but there were some stinkers too (Duran-Leonard 3, Hagler-Duran), compared to the 00 guys, where every fight was just full of fast paced action.

    The 2000's 4 had Morales vs Barrera 1, many will tell you that's the greatest fight in History, and then Morales vs Pacquiao. :deal, not bad.

    those two are the best. that said, the 80's fights were fought at a higher level

    the 80's ones had greater fighters, but has the less exciting fights, except for Hagler/Hearns which was more exciting than any of the 2000's ones.

    Barrera vs Morales I is certainly the greatest fight I've ever seen, Nefarious.
