    The best is obviously the former but the latter is totally my era. I grew up with those guys . So if you ask my favourite it's the British lads. Although to me it was more a trio, with Graham tagged on although he didn't fight any of the others. Collins came later and took advantage of Eubank and Benn being past their best. Well past in Benns case.

    Thats how I see it (regarding the british guys).

    For me its gotta be them, it was those four (especially Benn & Eubank) that got me interested in boxing, I can just about remember watching some of those fights from when I was a nipper. I hated Eubank like a baddie and loved Benn like a goodie.

    Can't say I'm really bothered about nationality, if I wanted to sit down and watch a fight I often pick one of the real big four.

    yeah man im not talking atg status im talking bout comparing the fights they had against each other.

    the little guys totally win this war. think about the morales v barrera and morales v pac trilogys. compare the 11 fights the lil guys had v the 9 fights the 80's guys had and its a no contest

    Has to be Duran, Leonard, Hearns and Hagler out of the two options given by the OP.

    Although Brickfists makes a good shout with the little men.
