    Would have to go with Duran-Leonard 1 for me. It will probably get a lot of competition from Hagler-Hearns though.

    Duran-Leonard I, Hagler-Hearns, Leonard-Hearns I.


    I suspect people will be choosing from any of those three.

    me and my brother had an argument over Leonard vs Hearns 1

    i think its an overrated fight and is not one of the best fighs ever. I think it lacks sustained action although it does have its twist and turns and is an intresting tactical match it dosent have taht added ya-ya sauce that mkes a fight great

    my bro says it does and its the best Welterweight fight ever, well im going to watch it later so i will report back

    I with you its not a bad fight but no where in the league of say duran v leonard 1. Intresting to watch of course, with 2 fighters as good as those 2 fighting in there primes that always going to be the case and i enjoy the way hearns is outboxing leonard and ray changes his style from about the 6th and looks to take tommy out.

    However its no classic IMO, duran v leonard 1 is my pick with hearns v hagler just behind

    Leonard-Hearns I. Great fight IMHO....sorry guys!!! I love fights that have a bit of ebb and flow and that fight fits the bill.

    I preferred, with hindsight, Leonard/HearnsI, but I picked Hagler/Hearns as I remember the live buzz around the fight. And the fight actually lived up to the hype and more, which was amazing.

    Anyone who picks the third Duran/Leonard deserves to be shot, with no trial!;)

    TB, the person who said Duran vs Leonard 3 should be made to watch it continuosly till the day they die that is a bad enough punishment

    This is the 21st century, you cannot do that! Human rights legislation means, being cut a few times and put in with a tank of sharks, is a more humane punishment!

    Brilliant fights, but I gotta go with Duran-Leonard I at the top.
