Arguello-Mancini was a fun fight to watch.

Hard to think of too many Mancini fights that weren't fun.

Such an entertaining fighter.

Aaron Pryor vs. Alexis Arguello 1 and 11

That first round of Hearns vs. Hagler is the greatest single round ever.


I reject any and all of you who will say Gatti vs. Ward. Those were two sub-par, mid skilled boxers with NO defense just flailing away.

It’s 1990 and I walk in the gym from off the street.
It’s free at that time. Lucky enough, I’m not dead.

I was Phil Borgia's assistant and he introduced me to the cutman Al Gavin in the lobby of the hotel. Orlando



What do you seA?



That bad swelling never occurred again.

Non-existent but widely used (especially on the World Wide Web) as an alternative to clandestine, and with an identical meaning. Logically, it should mean becoming more secret...

I saw that fight. It was a mismatch. Hearns made the mistake of trading punches and eventually collapsed. He had proven to have a weaker chin (relatively) in getting knocked out by Sugar Ray years earlier.

So, I vote for Hagler versus Leonard as one of the greatest fights. The outcome was controversial, and
Leonard was clearly the weaker puncher. But he was a better boxer (in my opinion) with sound defense
and timing in counter attacks. It was amazing how often he could strike in and out quickly fast enough to
avoid getting hit by Hagler's powerful uppercuts. I just remember the look of frustration on Hagler's
face as the fight ended with him knowing he wasn't able to knock out Leonard and likely lost. It's all in
his face - the distant look of having lost the victory he so badly wanted.

That Hagler/Hearns fight was great, I only wish it lasted longer. If I remember correctly it only went 5 rounds, but all action!!!

Seems like all the great fights were back in the day!! How about Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini/Duk Koo Kim?

What a great action packed fight that was, but very sad from what happened to Duk Koo Kim.
