The 1980s-90s era Lightweight through Middleweights were some of the greatest matches. When everyone thinks "1980s/90s" they think "Tyson", only because he was so damn dominant, but he didn't have strong top-10 competition.
Hearns (who was my favorite fighter) was strong from 147lbs up to 190lbs, winning numerous titles along the way. Hagler was just a monster. He wasn't known for being a "puncher" as much as he was known for intensity, ferocity and great conditioning. If you get a chance, watch the 3 round absolute tornado that is "The War" of Hagler/Hearns.
