Format:DVD
I'm delighted that this superb compilation of boxing's most exciting era has made it to dvd. The 1980s bore witness to arguably the most talent-rich, competitive middleweight division in living memory. You had the seemingly unstoppable bulldog Marvin Hagler, the olympic gold medal stylist & pin-up boy Sugar Ray Leonard, the lanky but explosive Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns and the durable streetfighter Roberto 'Hands of stone' Duran.
This dvd features lengthy highlights from the most important & exciting fights between these four legends including Hearns-Leonard 1 & 2, Leonard-Hagler, Hagler-Duran & Hearns-Duran, not to mention all three rounds from Hagler-Hearns. This last fight was an out and out war that people still talk about to this day, it really must be seen to be believed.

If you love boxing then you simply must add this dvd to your collection. You won't regret it.

Format:DVD
This excellent collection of boxing follows the historic duels between 4 of the best of all time, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard & Duran. This was a golden age of middleweight boxing and the DVD does it credit, showcasing all of the best action from the fights. If you love boxing you'll love this, even if you're too young to remember these fights. The highlight is round 1 of Hagler v Hearns, one of the best opening rounds in boxing history and if you like knockouts you'll be hard pressed to find a better finish than Hearns v Duran.
These warriors were made for each other, Hearn's raw power, Hagler's granite chin and strength, Leonard's sublime skill and Duran's sheer toughness. To watch these men do battle with each other is intruiging. You won't be dissapointed!

This era of boxing has always been my favourite. After the great heavyweights of the 60's and 70s, such as Ali, Frazier, Norton, Forman etc, were winding down their careers, the focus of boxing came to the lower divisions (middleweight and welterweight). Roberto Duran, Thomas 'the Hitman' Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvelous Marvin Hagler were 4 great fighters in and around the same weight division. These great warriors fought each other over 3 different weight classes and set the boxing world alight and kept this sport in the mainstream.
However, the problem with this documentary is that it is cheaply produced. The fights are covered well but this film is a world away from the fantastic 'Champions Forever' DVD. What this documentary needs is a soul. It needs interviews and it needs a more indepth look at the fighters and their careers.
If your interesting in revisiting these classic contests, or if you were too young and you are just curious about this great era; then buy this DVD. Just dont be dissapointed at the cheap feel to the whole film.
