I received this video as a Christmas present and ended up watching it straight through three days in a row. It contains outstanding footage of some unbelievable fights. The theme of "The Fabulous Four" is used creatively and is not at all contrived. It's thought-provoking to watch four fighters with very different styles and personalities take each other on at different stages of their careers. If you don't know the histories of all the fights, you will be continually surprised. You will find yourself posing questions like the following: If A can beat B, and B can beat C, why does C beat A? The answer, of course, is that there is no single scale of greatness, and on any given day the right set of skills will triumph over the wrong set. It's all in the matchups -- a lesson for sport and a lesson for life. Terrific.

This is a great tape, I own many Boxing highlight tapes and this is one of the best. It includes the full 8 min war between Hagler and Hearns. All of the fights are covered and none of the fights (except Leonard-Duran II) are really neglected.

This is without a doubt the best boxing video I have ever seen looking back on my favorite fighters of the 80s that put on historical fights together that were none stop action so if your asking me and want to see the best boxers of the eighties buy this tape!!!!!!!

Only for watching again the Hagler-Hearns "alley fight", it's worthwhile having this tape, but I enjoyed most of all

Great Narration in which the rivalry of the "Fab Four", Duran, Hagler, Hearns, and Leonard is relived. This tape shows the great fights between the "Fab Four" and I'll guarantee that you will you be caught in the drama of this exciting tape. An absolute must for boxing fans.

I am an avid boxing fan and fight film enthusiast. The highlights of the bouts featured in this film are first-rate. It is easily the best one of the top five boxing highlight films that I've ever seen. Buy it!

As I'am only 17 years of age, i was only a baby when these marvellous boxers were in their respective primes, but as i have grown i have learned of their charisma, their courage and their unbeleivable boxing ability. This film highlights four of the greatest fighters ever at their peaks, and against each other.
The Fabulous Four is a film that not only shows you the great fights but it gets inside each boxers corner and gives you a run down of what really went down in their minds on those special nights. Never again will you see fights with such action and such deep emotions roaring, that is what makes this film the one to have. The film includes highlights from all three Leonard/Duran fights, highlights from both Leonard/Hearns fights, the full Hagler/Hearns fight,the full Hearns/Duran fight and highlights from the Hagler/Duran fight. This is an amazing film which i think every boxing fan should have at home. It is truly " A Boxing Masterpiece".

Very exciting fights between these four great fighters. The most excitment I got while watching Hagler and Hearns. Even with two contraversial decisions it is still great tape to watch. Excellent boxing show. Buy it.

This is a piece of beauty.
Best middleweight fighters of last century.
The movie itself is very good composed, you'll
see 10 dramatic years of a fight for championship.

No talk about boxing, but action itself.
Original TV comments bring you right there.

I would give it 10.

the HeavyWeight Division after 1985 gave way to the MiddleWeight division&still hasn't recovered.alot of that is because of these 4 Solid Fighters that made Boxing happening in the Mid-80's onward.I got Props for all.Marvin Hagler,Sugar Ray,Duran&My Fav of the Bunch HitMan Hearns.these Guys&there Battles with one another kept Boxing with a Edge.the 70's was the HeavyWeight Era&the Mid-80's till Now is the Middle Weight.these 4 Guys I Believe could hang in any Era.
