As usual Blowhard Al Michaels was wrong with everyone other word out of his mouth. Hears was SHOT at the end of the 1st round I knew it when saw the fight live and again in this video. One of the worst fight commentaries of all time by both Michaels and expert Bernstein

I'm not that familiar with Hearns - was he always that "soft legged"?

I think Howard Cosell owns the rights to the worst call in a professional fight when he covered the George Foreman-Ron Lyle fight:

"FOREMAN IS IN TROUBLE!!!-LYLE IS DOWN!!!"

Now that was a heavyweight fight.

What a great round that truly was. You could rank that round as one of thegreatest rounds in boxing history. The thing that made that round even more exciting was the true animosity these two fighters showed for each other, and both the Hit Man and Marvelous Marvin were great fighters.

Another over looked fight in 1983 rematch between Cornelius Boza Edwards Vs Bobby Chacon...Unreal. A war of wars. Get a tape if you can. All time great fight in my book.

Some of those LaMotta/Ray Robinson rounds are pretty unbelievable too. Dont have enuf knowledge to say if this was the very best all time. Frazier Ali II was pretty good but probably not nearly as good as Hagler/Hearns.
