Boxing Legends of the Ring lets you control eight famous boxers, including Roberto Duran, Tommy "Hitman" Duran, Jake La Motta, Rocky Graziano, "Sugar" Ray Robinson, "Sugar" Ray Leonard, "Marveleous" Marvin Hagler and James Toney. You can play in exhibition mode or career mode to become the best boxer of all time.
The game has a variety of punches, including jab, hook, uppercut and low blow. As you score points on your opponent, you get a super punch that is almost unbeatable but can be lost if you miss. The game also shows the damage inflicted on both fighters, with black areas representing hits.
The game has two main displays during a fight: the damage inflict meter and the fighters' faces. As the round progresses, the fighters show more bruises and cuts, and flash red when they're tired - this is the best time to land a super punch. The camera view also changes from round to round, showing your character's back and then yourself.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Legends of the Ring* is a boxing sports game where players step into the squared circle to prove their worth against some of the greatest fighters in history. To become a true legend, players must wage war in the ring and defeat eight legendary boxers, including Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Jake "The Raging Bull" LaMotta.
Story
The Legends of the Ring
So you think you have what it takes? Right, sure you do. We have assembled some of the finest boxers who have ever stepped between the ropes and you think you'll prance right into the ring and become a legend? Walk away while you still can, kiddo, you're way out of your league.
Let me tell you about some of these gentlemen and, hopefully, you'll understand why you're drowning before you've even entered the water. These guys are legends because they make their living out of picking up punks like you, chewing them up and spitting them out. They are in every sense of the word, businessmen. Except their business is slapping sissies; prepare to be slapped.
But if you think you have what it takes, stick around. School is in session and you have a lot to learn. Another thing, these teachers don't hit their students with rulers. You'll have to wage war in the ring and emerge victorious against all eight boxing greats to become a legend.
The Boxing Greats
β’
Marvelous Marvin Hagler: While Hagler is a fine man, they don't call him Marvelous because he's a swell guy. Guys have swelled after fighting him but he is in no way "nice."
β’
James "Lights Out" Toney: 'Nuff said. They don't call him "Lights Out" because he has sensitive eyes.
β’
Thomas Hearns: Hearns isn't "The Hit Man" because he should have played baseball.
β’
Jake LaMotta: LaMotta isn't "The Raging Bull" because he lies a lot.
