5 Best of the 1980's

[oldgringo]

What were, in your respective opinions, the 5 best fights of the 80's? I just did a paper on Marvin Hagler and he personally put on two of them by himself so I was wondering what everyone else thought. The 80's were one of the best boxing eras and there were many great ones. My list looks something like:

Hagler/Hearns

Hagler/Mugabi

Leonard/Hearns I

Saad-Muhammad/Lopez II

Holmes/Cooney

[Bozo_no no]

Wilfredo Gomez vs Salvadore Sanchez

Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor


Both all out wars.

[The Troll]

Wilfredo Gomez vs Salvadore Sanchez

Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor


Both all out wars.

Quawi vs Holyfield was pretty much an all out war. That was a great fight.

Hearns-Leonard II was very good and is way underrated.

[Ricomania77]

Hagler v Hearns
Leonard v Duran 1
Salvador Sanchez v Wilfredo Gomez

[dingus]

Don't forget Arguello vs. Pryor and Duran vs. Barkley.

Any tyson fight...haha. Def Hagler Hearns.

[Yogi]

My favourite fight from that decade was probably the fourth fight between Bobby Chacon and Bazooka Limon, as the fight was packed full of both non-stop action and high drama.

Other favourites (some have been mentioned already); Saad/Lopez II, Pryor/Arguello I, Hagler/Hearns, Duran/Leonard I, Leonard/Hearns I, Cruz/McGuigan, Gomez/Pintor (could be #2 on my list), Lee/LoCicero, and Ramirez/Rosario II.
