Sugar Ray Leonard's era. Ever heard of Rodriguez?
Exactly.
How many world title fights did Rodriguez win, or even fight in? Try finding a valid analogy for your obvious Margarito hatred.
mayweather= is the leonard of this era Difference Leonard fought everybody
Like Aaron Pyror right? Let's not forget there was a time where A LOT of people thought he was ducking hearns.
Mayweather haters and nuthuggers seem to share two things:
1) Ignorance of the history of the sport
2) Thorough lack of understanding of the sport, from basics inside the ring, to the making of a fight.
Here are easy examples for the haters. For the huggers, just pick a thread were someone picks Mayweather to beat other greats who are a natural 10lbs above him.
you should put this in your sig, so people can see how little you know or understand about boxing. Mayweather and Mosley are the only comparison which make *vaguely* sense.
Leonard fought everybody... Leonard-Pryor was such a great fight... so were the immediate rematch of Leonard-Hearns, or of Hagler-Leonard.
Differernce between Cotto and Duran is Duran ruled a a division for 7 years, Cotto has been holding paper belts for less than 4 years.
you might want to consider putting that post in your sig for the same reasons mentioned above
Leonard never fought Pryor, perhaps you meant Duran.

williams=is the hearns of this era
margarito= is the haggler of this era
mosley= is the pryor of this era
This is sig worthy. :lol1:

or he might end up being remembered like Pryor. (without a good reason, unless he beats Cotto)

SO YOU SEE WHY I CALLED TONY PRYOR
There is a much more realistic comparison there than to Hagler. Aaron Pryor was also about swarming, wanton aggression and throwing punches from bell to bell. Both had very good chins as well.
I see the point that you are trying to make, but I don't think you can compare that era and this one. First off, who knows if Paul Williams will even recover from his loss to Quintana and be able to rebound.
Marvin Hagler ruled the middleweight division for about 7-8 years or so. I don't have to explain why I think that isn't how I'd classify Margarito. Though one similarity can be seen in toughness and aggression.
That era trumps this one largely because Ray Leonard was actually willing to fight those guys (except for Pryor).

I wouldn't compare Williams to Hearns... Besides height.
Exactly, Williams can land his Sunday punch and not even move a guy. Hearns, you don't let him hit you with his Sunday punch.
AGREED TO SOME BUT OUR HAGGLER WAS ROBBED BY OUR HEARNS AND OUR HEARNS HITS LIKE A FEATHERWIGHT
Margarito fought like shit against Williams.
That was the first time I saw Margarito and instead of seeing the Margarito hyped by my family I saw Margarita, some bitch who doesn't throw punches :kiss: .
I think Margarito is sincere in saying he's back to his old self (what that looks like I have no idea), after all he did knockout some lamb after the Williams fight and Cintron after that (but i haven't seen either of these fights on the tube or anything).
I don't like Cotto, I'm not saying he's not a fighter, but I'm pulling for Margarito.
Either way it will be a great fight!

what about Cotto? and damn @ your red bar vlad, what happened?
Cotto has the potential of greatness. If you remembered my thread where I asked, Is Cotto great right now??
As far as my Red level......it's been red for a long time unless you're talking about something else.
