These two gave us two great fights for a viewing pleasure RIP Champs
Who’s next for Lomachenko?
June 20 1980 Montreal 🇨🇦
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!!😊
Thank you, I appreciate the support and yes it was one of the most intense fights of that era.
Forget about the belt! What Ryan did is bigger than a belt! He showed he is a natural and that his speed, explosiveness and power are greater than another boxers technical ability! Of what good is great foot work, great defence, etc. If you cannot see a bullet coming at you!
Don't get wrong he did his thing. But he was 3 and 1/2 lbs overweight. Just think he could have that belt wrapped around his waist right now
What do you mean move up in weight class. He couldn't even make weight
And the referi. 😂
#1 was Tommy Morrison vs razor Ruddock. Watch that All out brawl. Best TKO ever imo
The bottle comment by Pryors criminal trainer was enough to disqualify Pryor and to arrest both of the cheating scumbags
Didn't you mean Top 5 FIXES of 1980's?
Taylor deserved the chance to try to survive those last 2 seconds. He deserved a chance to win that fight.
If you really look at this fight from start to finish…you see Chavez beat this man gradually… history shows… Taylor was NEVER the same!!! These are rare fights where it would have been better to have been knocked out by a single blow in the early rounds. But when you sustain a consistent beating for 12 rounds… sadly the effects are long term
@@richardsalazar7842 I don't disagree with you that Chavez was inflicting more physical damage on Taylor over the course of the fight than Taylor inflicted on him. But round by round, it's impossible for me to see an argument for Taylor not winning that fight if he survives those final couple of seconds. As far as Taylor never being the same after this fight. I disagree. He won a world title at Welterweight not long after this fight. Did Chavez take something out of him in this fight? I don't doubt that he did. But I think Taylor could have survived those final couple of seconds if given the chance, and if he did, he wins that fight. I'm not arguing some grand conspiracy that Richard Steele screwed Taylor over. I think a reasonable ref in that situation who looked at Taylor might have come to the conclusion he was done (especially if his eyes were still rolling around in his head). But I can think of several refs, like Steve Smoger or Frank Cappuccino, or more recently Tony Weeks, who would have given Taylor a chance to survive those last couple of seconds. That's what I think Steele should have done, but I wasn't in his shoes and he made his call.
He could of been hit really hard within that 2 seconds. He was hurt badly so I think the ref was correct.
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.
Gatti was very very dangerous when he was hurt
That was a good fight 💯👈👍
The average fight fan knows nothing about boxing ... I knew ngannou would be laying there like a pancake within three rounds ... they think a granite chin in mma translates to boxing .... yeah right .... get the oxygen mask ready .... Anyway, ngannou got 20 million and a beautiful pink mini skirt to fight in. 😂
Smart ass look closely at that fake knock out he wasnt even touched Barbie went down in her pink Tu Tu he was sacraficed dude !
Dude, you act like Ngannou was dead he's a fighter and in order to learn how to win you have to learn how to lose! He can get knocked out in MMA fighting also. He'll be fine but he does need to start with lesser opponents just like all the great boxers have done. And Joshuah I believe gave Ngannou respect because he knows anyone can get knocked out, even himself.
This fight and his fight with gabriel ruelas were his best wins imo
Great vid?! Glad to see some more obscure matches. The 90s was just boxing gold!
My favourite fight of all time , crisp left hook and Dela Hoya rally on 12th is legendary
El canelo contra estos pierde fácil.
You're delaying subs bro. If you say top 5, put on all the top 5 and not 1 by 1
Ah yes my man Pryor! One of them fighters that looks beatable until you get in the ring with him. Great fighter in the ring and great man out of the ring. RIP champ
Best all time boxing
No way this fight happens in may mark my words
Le dió su “salsa canuta”
La mejor pelea que he visto en toda mi vida
Few people know that Tommy broke his right hand in the first round.
I understand that both these fighters were great and in their prime. Why would you want to fight a boxer of Hagler's magnitude with only one hand ?? And, that was Hearn's power 🔋 😳 hand. He virtually had zero chance of beating Hagler after he broke his right hand. The ring doctor should have stopped ✋️ the fight at that point 👉, even if it meant Hagler winning by a TKO. With a broken right hand, Hearn loses that fight ten out of ten times ⏲️. You fight him at your best and in a rematch. If he beats you then, so be it. But with Hearns power 🔋 hand ✋️ MIA, he had no chance.
A lot of African Americans have made themselves look real stupid blindly supporting and believing the weak excuses wilder makes.
probably the worst ever american heavyweight ever he has a terrible approach to training he dont do road work he lacks good boxing fundamentals he has been fed tomato cans because he lacks the ability to contend with better level competition and to make it even worse he a sore loser never has a boxer come up with such ridiculous exscuse of why he lost a fight how about you weren't good enough this is how bad boxing has become
He was no hype job because he didn’t even do Paul the Punisher Williams number his biggest notoriety was getting plunked by Fury in the second fight
No top heavyweight boxer or belt holder dared fight deontay to this fay. " Anthony needs a few more tune ups before he gets into the ring with deontay Wilder." That's what you heard about Luis Ortiz too. Cowards, punks, cherry pickets is all they still are. How can deontay get a resume when no one will fight?
Wilder could've fought vlad, aj and whyte during his reign but chose to rematch ortiz for some strange reason...
@@dj_adam_g_uk Just like Anthony said he would fight that Deontay cause he signed a contract this time? Anthony is 🐔 chicken cluck cluck quack quack 🦆🦆 ducking deontay Wilder
@@user-iy8dh9uc7x wilder was supposed to beat parker but he lost every single round, if wilder won then he'd be fighting aj...
@@dj_adam_g_uk Anthony should have fought deontay this time. Anthony needs a few more tune ups before he gets into the ring with deontay Wilder.
@@user-iy8dh9uc7x well wilder clearly needed some tune ups before fighting parker
Eddie hearn had Luis Ortiz on contract and shelved him Attempting to protect Anthony and despite never losing Luis never got a shot. Deontay courageously risked giving him a non mandatory voluntary title shot. No one would dare face the technicality sound cuban southpaw.
Ortiz got banned before he had his mandatory, then ortiz had the opportunity to face aj over ruiz but wanted too much money, then he had a rematch with wilder instead and for less than half the money he was asking for...

@@dj_adam_g_uk Luis Ortiz is fighting an undefeated giant who knocked every one out he's faced. Ten years ago Luis Ortiz was a boogyman. Chumps still won't fight him.

Love it❤
That’s 135 pound guy I guess 147 pound guy that was a prime Ray Leonard that was all natural weight on Ray Roberto beat a younger, bigger, faster, stronger fighter that night
Right fights wrong order
Number 3
Most of the greatest fighter have a good footwork and move around example Ali, wilfredo gomez and pryor
Pryor is a cheat
Whatever it was, he spit it out.
Hagler went next level once he won the title. He became a monster, a beast in terms of psyche warfare. P4P the best champion Ive seen & he is the most complete boxer Ive seen. Id class the Hearns fight as a great battle, but the Mugabi fight was a pure WAR. We seen how clever, tactical & technical he could be vs the very crafty Duran, we seen him seek n destroy vs Hearns & Minter, we seen him put on a boxer/puncher master class vs Roldan & Sibson but I believe we seen his soul vs Mugabi, he was unbreakable.
I agree, one of the best fighters ever and underrated if you look at the early part of his reign
@@Toe2ToeBoxingTalk I dont get what you mean by the early part of his reign ? He was more well known, more tape on him was out there for his challengers to see by then later end of his career, therefore making his victories all the more impressive. Mugabi medalled at the Olympics, was an undefeated terrifying KO machine & he had a management team who took down Dolald Curry in more favorable circumstances than Hagler was facing. Hagler was RIPE for the picking n that management team picked him, make no mistake about that, Mickey Duff wasnt just a great promoter, he was also a great cornerman especially in big fights, he knew how to get the best outa his fighters, similar to Angelo Dundee. Hagler was nothing less than magnificent. Throughout his entire reign only Leonard & Duran went the distance with him & only Hearns & Duran didnt show immediate signs of being absolutely broken by him. 3 All Time Greats & Leonard was the best of those 3, maybe it was inconsistency in his activity but it was immediately after Hagler he started showing signs of not being Superman. Ignore Mugabi's record after facing Hagler, ignore Minters, Antuofermo's & Hamsho's, look at their records going into the Hagler fight/s. He BROKE them, he broke Sibson & Roldan too, the were never the same fighter after meeting him. Hagler more so than any other MW in the modern era absolutely DESTROYED good if not possibly great fighters, you literally had to be an all time great to recover from fighting him. And for all of the above, I say the later part of his reign was most impressive, if any part of his reign has to be singled out at all. Hagler was the face of Boxing until Leonard returned & then Mike Tyson emerged. Not even Larry Holmes was more recognised than him globally, he definitely was no secret.
@@SPIDERM0OSE granted I understand that, but what I’m saying is that when he defeated Minter to become champion he was not talked about as much like the other kings in the 80’s(Duran, Leonard, Hearns). I believe after he defeated William Lee that’s when you started to hear more buzz about him potentially fighting Hearns or Leonard. Remember he didn’t start making those big paydays until he fought the other kings.
@@Toe2ToeBoxingTalk He definitely was talked about, he literally shook up the world with what he did to Minter, he was irrefutably THEE man on the global scene after that. Maybe in America he didnt get as much shine, because he was an American among Americans, but globally he was seen as being something VERY special. I was a 6 yr old kid in Ireland n I had just started boxing, I rem seeing him DESTROYING Minter n the shock it caused, not because he won, we all knew Americans had good boxers, but because of how devastatingly good he was. Minter was very popular in Britain & Britain wasnt very popular in Ireland due to when they were doing in Ireland at that time so it was a low key celebration for us, among casual boxing fans & among people involved in the sport. Leonard, was Leonard, a Golden boy with a midas touch. Duran was the ferocious wee man who beat Ken Buchanan from Scotland (Britain) so he was popular among us for that, & then he beat Leonard. Duran was seen as an anti hero outa a Western. Hearns in 1980 was the least of them, then he got beat by Leonard. It wasnt until he OBLITERATED Duran that he was considered to be top tier again. Hagler was considered a bit of a monster by everyone this side of the Atlantic, especially after he absolutely schooled the very promising & exciting Sibson who had put the final nail in the coffin of Minters career. Hagler was definitely highly regarded internationally, the Brit fans hated him, we loved him & he just kept on winning. Hagler may have been over looked & under appreciated before he won the title, but once he won it he left the boxing world in no doubt, there was only one Middleweight on the planet & his name was Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
@@SPIDERM0OSE Repsect 💯, I appreciate your opinion and comment
Leonard could arguably make up half the top 5 fights of the 80s Duran 1 Hearns 1 Hagler Hearns 2 LaLonde.
and Duran 2
@@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.
