You're like 13 years old, and you're only saying that because you want respect from the old time boxing fans.Originally posted by cuzfozzy View Post
Yes, there were many great fighters, but you make it seem like noone can ever be great again because they didn't fight a long time ago. You're a worthless poster. And I mean that.Comment

I remember it and it was a great fight but not as great as many people like to make out. I think it's because of the 2 fighters involved and also no-one expected it which is why a lot of people say it's one of the greatest of all time.
My perception if memory serves me correctly as I haven't seen it for a while is the fight exploded shortly after the opening bell, which was initiated by Hagler and the two warriors then went toe to toe for about 30 seconds of mayhem both totally disregarding defense. Of course fighting like this at that pace even for two finely tuned athletes takes it's toll. They continued trying to knockout each other out for the rest of the round but at a slower pace but it hurt Hearns the most who seemed totally spent. The next two rounds were good but not great and in the third the ref stopped it for a cut over Haglers eye so the ringside doctor could take a look, after resuming Hagler went right after Hearns and finished Tommy off. It was great but there have been many greater fights and better opening rounds IMO. Ray Mancini vs Arturo Frias was a better 1st round, and there have been much more brutal fights lasting alot longer.
Anyone ever see Dave McCauley vs Fidel Bassa that was one hell of a fight.Comment
