[@yaderblen2890]

Alexis Arquello vs Pryor was the fight of the decade back in the 80s and one the greatest of the last 50 years by The Ring Magazine

Great job, my brother. I saw this fight in real time, and I was very worried because Hearns was a serious problem for everyone, including Leonard! But your outstanding commentary says it all. Thanks for sharing this great memory!!😊

[@Toe2ToeBoxingTalk]

Thank you, I appreciate the support and yes it was one of the most intense fights of that era.

It was over 110 degrees in the ring that night according to Howard Cossell sitting ringside calling the fight!! I remember ABC TV coverage showing an outside clock size temperature gauge showing how insanely hot it was plus the ringside lighting. This fight was one of the first super fights of the era, along with the largest payday at that time. And we got to see for free on ABC TV Wide World of Sports!!!!

Leonard could arguably make up half the top 5 fights of the 80s Duran 1 Hearns 1 Hagler Hearns 2 LaLonde.

@@sherrillraymond7595 Hagler vs Mugabi, Holmes vs Cooney, McGuigan vs Cruz, Arguelo vs Pryor, Hearns vs Benetiz to name 5 were way better fights than Duran vs Leonard 2.

Me decepcionó Hearns , era probable que perdiera pero fue humillado de principio a fin...una paliza total , pelea unificadora

I’ll give you one that many people born after the 80’s never heard of and it’s a great great fight. You’ll never see fighters TODAY fight the way these two guys did and it’s worth being in the top 5. Cornelius Boza Edward’s vs Bobby Chacon 2. Take a look young ones. And this fight was on regular TV. What you see on ppv today is crap compared to what you’ll see in this fight.

[@Robbie-n1d]

Loveit. I think hagler v mugabi.an larry holmes v gerry cooney could be good shouts but tbh.think you pick 5 probably have to go with 10 .so nany great bouts.

Sugar Ray had to retire or go blind I believe in left eye
