***The TOP 50 WINS OF THE DECADE, 1980-1989***

Awesome job done!

What brings warmth to this Nordman´s heart, is to see Manos de Piedra so well represented. Thank you so much.

 

Great article (for real)

 

I enjoyed reading this.

 

Amazing post.

 

awesome post Popkins!

 

Fantastic work

 

This is what we like to read, and not just some "pac on roids" "floyd is a wifebeater"
Nice to read some quality work.

 

Excellent stuff. Obviously no-one is going to agree with the placement of every single fight but there's nothing that stands out as way out of place.

I find it hard to rate the SRL-Hagler win because of how close/subjective it was. I could score it for either guy, so that means I'd probably have it a little lower.

 

Again, quality list, real hard work put into that. True boxing fan :good

Surprised Starling - Breland wasn't in it (or do my eyes deceive me?)

fighters who both had outstanding skillsets. The momentum of the fight changed several times, and although Hearns has boxed his way into the lead in this fascinating tussle, it was Ray who unleashed his artillery and got the stoppage late on.
The cynic would say: Leonard's performance was unimpressive and unconvincing throughout the fight.


Only Hearns was undefeated.

 

Good stuff!!!

 

This is what a boxing forum should be about. It just reminds me how great past fights were, where no one ducked or fought primarily for money. Just imagine if we had 4 great boxers fighting each other in this era, people would be wetting themselves, well i would.......

 

refreshingly great read
