what were the most anticipated fights of the 80's

[rightsideup]

for example the brawl in montreal may have been for 1980
hearns leonard 1 for 81
and so on

what I am looking for is not the best fight but the most hype although many may be both

[young_robbed]

I think Tyson-Spinks may be up there

Hagler-Leonard would have to be on that list somewhere.

Holmes Cooney 82
haggler duran 83

Hagler-Leonard would have to be on that list somewhere.

without a doubt

[The Old LefHook]

What's that prove?

[Anthony342]

Hagler-Hearns 85
Tyson vs. just about anyone after 1986.

Hagler v Hearns was huge even for me who orignally started out not being much of a boxing follower but constantly kept hearing about it every day while at school (grade 6).

[Dynamite76]

Sanchez-Gomez
Pryor-Arguello
Spinks-Qawi.

[BattlingNelson]

Hagler-Leonard would have to be on that list somewhere.

I think this is the winner.

Other highly anticipated fights would be Leonard-Hearns I, Hagler-Hearns, Holmes-Cooney, Tyson-Bonecrusher.

I dont recall Leonard-Duran I being anticipated that much. Certainly not as much as the rematch.
