    I think its the magnitude of the matchup more than it actually being the best fight.
    Two great WW champs , Macklin v Moore was maybe a better fight in your opinion but hardly caught the imagination of the whole World.

    macklin moore wasnt the best fight in my opinion, it was the best fight and thats a fact

    leonard hearns only had a bigger audience coz there are more people in america and it had a better marketing campaign and more people watched american tv at the time across the world, most countries didnt even have their own tv channels so they had to watch americans

    the british title is still the original and most coverted belt in the world, we dont have silver champions and super champions and interim champions, we have the champion which means you are the best in britain and britain is the best country in the world, and so all this means that the macklin moore fight had more on the line than leonard hearns and was therefore a better fight as well as being a better fight

    When that fight happened, it was on ON TV, which was a subscription service and we didn't have it. I walked around, all over the place, until I found some people having a party in their back yard, with a big, old style projection screen to watch the fight. I stood there looking over their fence until their dog came and barked at me, then I'd walk around the block, come back and watch until the dog barked again.

    As many here will disagree with you and it isn't a known fact , then you will find it is your opinion that Moore v Macklin was the best fight . - FACT

    I have not seen it all but will sit down and watch it. This was certainly better than Tito v Oscar.

    I always consider Leonard the best of the 4 and always rank him in my toplist of lb for lb fighters.

    Hearns is definitely up there too but he was more vulnerable.

    My first memories of Leonard were not of his fights, but of his commentary on Tyson's early fights!!
