Tooj 17 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hagler still won it Jimbo. Absolutely, but what a fight ! But I admire Hearns for his sportsmanship, he didn't disclose the fact he'd broken his hand in the first round as he didn't want to take any of the gloss of Hagler's win. I wasn't on about that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hagler was the best of the lot for me. Although Leonard was my favourite boxer at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hagler still won it Jimbo. Sorry Jonny, the penny just dropped, you're talking about Hagler Vs Leonard aren't you. Like fuck he won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Can't see there ever being the number of top fighters around at same time again. Ali, Foreman,Frazier,Norton,etc.AHH, nostalgia. Hagler, Leonard, Hearns and Duran in the 80's came pretty close in my opinion. Hagler. Sugar Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Heard the theory it was a fix on occasion, which carries some weight as Hagler was unusually subdued. I don't think Hagler won it and was robbed though. Leonard was the deserved winner (as I remember it anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Leonard didn't hand Hagler a beating, but he certainly out-pointed him, clearly landing more punches than Hagler, Hagler's problem was Leonard's punches didn't hurt him so he barely tried to block them, I'm just disappointed Hagler spat his dummy out and didn't fight on.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Didn't realise the blood between ali and frazier was so bad, Ali went down in my estimation after watching that, crazy Islamic bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ali was a right bastard to Sonny Liston as well, accusing him of being some sort of thick black puppet for white men iirc. Pretty harsh stuff, although they reckon Liston was bumped off by the mafia. As an aisde, if anyone has ESPN Classics, they're showing Ali V Foreman now.

Didn't Ali appear on Liston's doorstep in the middle of the night with his entourage carrying a bear collar ? I think Liston and most of the media thought Ali (Clay at the time) was just a nutter rather than being malicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there is more chance of a Gary Glitter revival than there is for one for the Heavyweight division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Fellow American George Foreman was 45 when he knocked out Michael Moorer in 1994 to win the IBF and WBA crowns. Yes. Of course he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
