Fab four

Bothwell · 06-16-2005, 09:03 AM

Oh joy I have just got my copy of the fab four, not the beatles but Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler and Roberto Duran.

The best fights ever IMO, was there ever a better pound for pound fighter than Sugar Ray? Apart from the famous "No Mas" fight was there a tougher warrior than Roberto "hands of Stone" Duran, surely no fighter had a quicker longer jab than the "Detroit Hit man" Tommy Hearns, being crowded on the ropes by "Marvellous" Marvin Hagler must have been a terrifying experience.

I know we don't have many fight fans here but I just loved this era of boxing in general and these four in particular after the Tyson debacle I thought I would talk about some real fighters although I have to say that Tyson in his prime would have been a match for anyone including Ali IMO
