I need some recommendations from the experts at boxingscene.com. I'm debating between Bernard Hopkins, Lennox Lewis, Nigel Benn, and Roberto Duran. Each set has like all their fights so just let me know what you think(rank from like 1-4) Thanks
What career set do you recommend I get?

I'd go Benn but I never got to see much of him aside from fighting Malinga and proposing on Showtime to his girl. I wish I could see more -
I got the Lewis set, many great fights like Lewis-Bruno and Lewis-Morrison but also some boring ones like Lewis-Tua.Comment

I own Duran's set and it's great. Not only do you get some amazing classic fights, it's also a gigantic set.
Depends on what kind of fights you want to watch.Comment

Some of my favorite boxers are Winky Wright, Arturo Gatti, and Vitali Klitschko. Don't know if that helps. lolComment

Helps me get a feel for the fact that you have bizarrely eclectic tastes! Winky and Gatti? That's like oil and water.
Duran is very Gatti like. He is a brawler, he gets KOs, he is fun to watch, and you'll see him fight Hearns and Leonard and De Jesus. Really a great set.
Lewis is more of a technical fighter, but he is a heavyweight. Similar to Vitali I guess although a bit more technical than Vitali.
Hopkins is Hopkins. He fights like Hopkins and if you like watching him you like watching him. Not a huge collection though as no one covered him for some reason.
Unfamiliar with Nigel Benn. Sorry!Comment

Oh, and if you don't already have it get Joe Frazier's career set. Of all of my career sets it's easily the best.Comment

It has like 40 Hopkins fights. I've only seen like 2 Hopkins fights(Roy Jones/DLH). Most people would say he is boring but they say WW is boring and I like him.Helps me get a feel for the fact that you have bizarrely eclectic tastes! Winky and Gatti? That's like oil and water.

I have some of Duran's fights(Hagler, Hearns, Leonard) and enjoyed what I seen. Didn't know how far into his career I should go though.
Everyone I talked to says Nigel Benn is like another version of Mike Tyson. I guess he had a lot of KO's.Comment

I got the Erik Morales career DVD set and love it, I didnt get all of his career fights but many of them, and god damn how many wars was this guy in and what talent he had in his prime
Arturo Gatti is also a must, this guys career set was exciting to watch may he rest in peace.
Im gonna get pretty soon the Marco Antoinio Barrera and Manny Pacquiao career set. Peace.Comment
