look at there reactions after the 12th barrera last great perfomance and marquez still won, and both knew it
the more manny and marquez are successful the better they make eachother look, manny completely outclassed hattion, that makes marquez look very good, marquez koes casa and diaz that makes manny look good
victory over barrer and barrera fought very well that night, i though he won both pac fights but obviously very close, could of gone either way, i was really impressed in the second pacquio fight, cause he was past his prime, in that one, impressive ko's over casa, juan diaz, jaca,, made Derek gainer quit, never was he convincingly beaten
tyson was going to lose but holy is a dirty headbutting steroid taking phoney, i actaully understand why tyson bit him holy was headbutting with disregard for saftey and the rules and then begged for the ref to stop it after getting retalitated against
Hagler was no more past his best than SRL was? When you get close matches that go to the score cards you are going to have controversy. Hagler could have been years younger but if it goes to the scorecards it depends how the judges see the fight.
Hagler was a great middleweight. So was Monzon. So is Hopkins. Take your pick of who you think is the greatest.
i agree with you hagler was past it but so was leanord, although i think hagler more so
But its swings and roundabouts. SRL fans will say SRL was more past his best than Hagler. Nothing can be proved. Hagler before fighting Leanord wasnt seen as past his best as far as i know. SRL had come off a layoff.
Hagler in the opininons of the refs lost. Hagler lost to a great welterweight so may be hagler aint as good as people as say. Even though he was great. Maybe there is a case for their being better middleweights than Hagler.
its sad that haglers legacy is somewhat tarnished, cause in my opinon it would of meant much more in there primes, they it did
Some of you mention that Hagler was out of his prime/ was old but forgot to mention Leanord came out of retirement and fought after 3 years of his retirement and had 2 fights in 7 years while Hagler was active. Leanord was'nt in his prime either.
its true but hagler was worse in my mind, i was watching sportscentury marvin hagler and the guy who used to run the vegas state athletic commison said that leanord was yelling to hagler in the locker room your a fucken old man you a fucken old man your not winning this fight, plus hagler was so danm slow, i recently watched hagler duran and hagler leranord and he was ten times slower in 87 when he fought leanord then in 83 when he fought duran i was actually kind of shocked how slow he was
