The Fabulous Four chronicles the competition of four great champions: Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler. While many of these bouts require no introduction, the narration expertly introduces each fight for the uninitiated. A drawback of this video is the exclusion of the celebrated rematch between Leonard and Duran in which the latter was pummeled into crying "No mas, no mas" after enduring the Sugarman's viscious combinations. However, there is still plenty of bone-crunching action. A
necessary addition to any sports fan's library, The Fabulous
Four details some of boxing's greatest rivalries.

The 80s were the greatest years in boxing history! In that decade, four legendary boxers stepped into the spot light and fought each other with all of their strength, speed, and heart. The Fabulous Four is a documentary you must purchase! There is no talking in this tape. There is only pure fight footage from those spectacular bouts. Most the fights are only highlight clips or certain action packed rounds, so don't expect to get the whole pay per view broadcast. The creators of this film seem to have edited out all the slower rounds. In fact, the only complete fights are the ones which didn't go the distance. Thomas Hearns's brutal knock out of Roberto Duran is in full footage and The three rounds of Mayhem when Marvelous Marvin Hagler battled The Hitman is a complete fight with all the original interviews. I actually would have prefered to see the complete fights but in a way this documentary did some good. From start to end, this tape was 'edge of your seat' entertaining. There wasn't one boring second since they cut out all of those slow rounds with little action in them. With it's editing, it perfectly describes the honor and pride which once lived in boxing. When Sugar Ray Leonard came out of retirement to score his incredible come back victory by controversial decision against Marvin Hagler, it showed that these men had no fear. And when Sugar Ray fought the unstoppable Thomas Hitman Hearns in 1981, I realized that the boxers back then had something the boxers in present times lack....its called GREATNESS! Those great fighters back in the 1980s were not afraid to fight each other. In conclusion, once you watch this tape, you will realize that the boxers of yesterday would simply outclass the boxers today. Sugar Ray would easily out box
Tito Trinidad, Marvin Hagler would beat Shane Mosely or De La
Hoya, Roberto Duran would ruff up Fernando Vargas, and Thomas
Hearns would brutally knock out Vernon Forrest.
