    Damn, I didn't realize how close we are in age. A guy with a dynamite punch and a suspect chin makes for very interesting matches, you know it's not going to go the distance, but you're not always sure who is going to win.

    The Hagler - Hearns bout is one for the ages.

    I love all four members of the Fab Four. They were all very special fighters indeed.

    We were lucky to be able to watch these guys fight each other, that's for damn sure. It's not that these four fighters couldn't possibly reappear, but if they did in todays world, they wouldn't fight each other the way they did back then.

    We'd be left with unfinished business such as Mayweather - Pac, and even if then fought tomorrow, it wouldn't be the same as when Duran fought Leonard.

    You're probably right. That said, I still really struggle to envision it panning out like that with fighters like them.

    Hearns and his like were amazing to behold. All those guys came to fight and left nothing to chance
