    Hagler-Hearns was a war. Suprised that none of these have been made into a documentary or a movie.

    I enjoyed Leonard beating Hagler the most but from an action point of view Leonard v Duran 1 & Hagler v Hearns were the best.

    Hagler v Hearns rd1 was probably the best rd of all time, rd2 wasn`t too far behind either... but 15 rds is better than 3 & even tho SRL v Duran 1 didn`t have any single rd as good as MMH v TH rd1, it had plenty of rds not too far behind & more skills were shown due to the longevity of the fight.

    Leonard v Duran 1 was the best.

    Leonard-Hearns 1 for me because it's Sugar's greatest win.I suspect many neutrals would pick Hagler-Hearns but I think it depends on your perception of each fighter.For me,all the Leonard fights up to and including Hagler proved the guy had balls of steel and a jaw of iron.

    They should have a dedication to these dudes in the boxing hall of fame. Never will there will be a four some of this caliber battling each other.

    I wonder what would have happened if Hagler had fought like this against Duran or Leonard.

    I loved them all of them except Leonard/Duran III....Im a Hearns junkie so it was great to see him knock Leonard around like a small fox terrier in Hearns/Leonard II...and just as the 1st fight Leonard was out manned and outgunned and he still made a run and made it interesting Leonard's heart and guts made everything interesting he made it impossible for me to hate him even though he took boxing politics to another level. They all had their special attributes....but Tommy's size speed power and boxing ability was off the charts and may never be seen again...

    Hearns-Leonard 1(even though Hearns lost to the ***** Leonard) and Hearns-Hagler( If Tommy only hadn't broke his hand on Hagler's hard dome, who knows what would have happened).
