Better fighter, Hagler at middleweight or Holyfield at cruiser?

I don't think cruiser was his natural weight either... Yes, he could have stayed there and maintain his weight, but he knew he would achieve more at heavy. Since he moved up and gained more experience and power I'd say that was his better weight. Plus, he barely fought anyone at cruiser. Besides Qawi and De Leon. I stand corrected, I thought the second Qawi fight was at heavyweight.

i don't have my scorecard handy but i do think that hagler won the fight. ill score it this weekend

I'll look forward to it.

I agree.

If Holyfield would have stayed at Cruiserweight, he probably would have stayed undefeated and knocked out everyone until he was about 42.

I certainly dont see anyone of the last 20 or so years that could have taken on Holyfield at 190lbs(200lbs later)...well, ok, there was Moorer...but thats about it.

I think Moorer's win over Evander is a tad bit overrated. Docters said afterward that he was basically having a heart attack in the ring (and he looked sick in the face) and the decision was still some what controversial. I think a cruiser weight Evander gets to him even quicker than he did in the rematch.
