Advantages: The fabulous four! Disadvantages: No coverage of No Maas and fabricating the truth of the matter

Apart from the fact that they decided to skip the rematch between Duran and Leonard, this DVD is perfect. The only problem is that they lied about the fact that it wasn't a bizarre surrender. he just couldn't accept the fact that Leonard turned the tide around. The narrator makes out he quit for no reason (as if he was winning!) and no coverage of that fight is shown.
However, this DVD is action packed with the best of the 1980's! Every single epic battle between these guys is fully documented. especially the wars between Hagler, Hearns and Leonard. extensive coverage of Leonard V Duran 1 is also shown. These 4 legends held boxing up while the heavyweights awaited the arrival of iron Mike Tyson. In the meantime, these 4 guys were boxing!
The most interesing of these characters is Roberto Duran, who really shouldn't have mixed it up with these guys. With the reputation as the best lightweight ever, it is rather amazing that he finished his career as a light heavyweight! Truly one of the most amazing fighters ever, and for this reason alone the DVD is worht every singhle last penny. if you do not know who this man is, you are truly at a loss. He is a great man and a great athlete. His carrer spanned over 20 years and most of that was at the top.
This DVD is suitable for the whole family, as the 80s really is a bridge between the generations. Ideal for the enthusiast, as well as the new ort casual boxing fan, this DVD has enough action to liven up even the dullest nights in.
Buy it, and I assure you that you will like it! Four of the most entertaining pugilist ever, crammed on to one actrion packed DVD. Full coverage of one of the most exciting middleweight battles ever - Hagler V Hearns. The stylish and charismatic Sugar Ray Leonard. The tough and rugged Roberto Duran. All legends, all great in their own ways. You owe it to yourself to find out who they are!
