Customer Reviews

A sublime slice of boxing history
I'm delighted that this superb compilation of boxing's most exciting era has made it to dvd. The 1980s bore witness to arguably the most talent-rich, competitive middleweight division in living memory. You had the seemingly unstoppable bulldog Marvin Hagler, the olympic gold medal stylist & pin-up boy Sugar Ray Leonard, the lanky but explosive Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns and the durable streetfighter Roberto 'Hands of stone' Duran.
This dvd features lengthy highlights from the most important & exciting fights between these four legends including Hearns-Leonard 1 & 2, Leonard-Hagler, Hagler-Duran & Hearns-Duran, not to mention all three rounds from Hagler-Hearns. This last fight was an out and out war that people still talk about to this day, it really must be seen to be believed.

If you love boxing then you simply must add this dvd to your collection. You won't regret it.

Fabulous 4... 80s boxing heaven
This excellent collection of boxing follows the historic duels between 4 of the best of all time, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard & Duran. This was a golden age of middleweight boxing and the DVD does it credit, showcasing all of the best action from the fights. If you love boxing you'll love this, even if you're too young to remember these fights. The highlight is round 1 of Hagler v Hearns, one of the best opening rounds in boxing history and if you like knockouts you'll be hard pressed to find a better finish than Hearns v Duran.

These warriors were made for each other, Hearn's raw power, Hagler's granite chin and strength, Leonard's sublime skill and Duran's sheer toughness. To watch these men do battle with each other is intruiging. You won't be dissapointed!

Great fights, terrible coverage
I found this DVD extremely disappointing. The fights themselves are classics, but I'm afraid the style of the commentary is very pompous and the editing of the fights is truly dreadful.

Oh yes, and just to add insult to injury, there's no footage whatsoever of the infamous "No mas" fight between Duran and Leonard... despite being one of the great talking points of boxing, this doesn't get covered because... errmm.. perhaps someone's management team decided it was too embarassing to show ? - either way, it's hardly a complete collection without it
