    Default 25 years on and still the greatest fight ever IMO.

    Hagler Vs Hearns for me has to be the greatest fight ever. It was eight minutes of sheer brutality and today is it's 25th anniversary. A thread here to celebrate the greatest fight in history.

    This is the closest the reality of the sweet science will ever get to resembling a Rocky movie. The first round is THE round of all time no questions.

    I watch that round every few months or so on youtube when bored - quality.

    My only regret is that I never saw this live on tv - bit young and didnt appreciate boxing then (not sure if it was live in UK anyway back then ??)

    Anyway I can only imagine what it would have been like watching that fight live on tv with a few mates round as I often do now.

    Either stunned silence or shouts of "wtf ?!?" "Jesus" "Fuck me" "OMG" etc....

    God knows what it must have been like to actually have been there.

    Will never be ousted from top 3 fights of all time I reckon

    Great post and I totally agree. I can't ever see it being bettered, it sometimes gets overlooked due to it being relatively short in comparison to the "Thrilla in Manilla", the Gatti - Ward fights, MAB vs Morales and so on but the sheer quality and blood and guts attitude shown by both fighters for the 3 rounds it lasted is the best thing i've ever seen in a boxing ring.

    The title is correct the greatest fight ever. There was no boxing. Nothing. It was a simply street fight between to finely tuned machines. I love it everytime I see it. So much on the line and both of these guys just went at it. Simply the greatest, most entertaining fight ever.

    No disrespect but i think this is an overrated fight, the 1st round was amazing no question. But then Marvin Hagler basically took over, Because Tommy Hearns legs were gone, and he had broke his right hand.

    It was great for its time and there both great fighters, but there's been many better shorter fights than this. And many better fights overall.

    For example Jose Luis Ramirez vs Edwin Rosario 2 went 4 rounds, and was a better fight IMO, and more dramatic.

    Still think the greatest round of all time was Chico - Castillo round 10.

    It totally ruined the fight for me. I can't watch that fight now. Corrales should have been disqualified.

    Its the best for me , even though its bitter sweet , i now can appreciate how good Marvin was , as it took me years to get over him knocking out my boxing hero.

    ROFL @ Hearns saying Hagler "got a hard head; no wonder he keep his head bald, he got a weapon there."

    I know we have all seen it a million times...but for me...the greatest fight (AND trilogy) was Barrera vs. Morales 1. The best combination of skill, true hatred, war, and heart i have seen in a fight.
