..Lose A Great Fight Or Win A Dull Fight?...

[THe TRiNiTY]

We are?

In which fights that Hagler won can his opponents make a case for winning? Thanks in advance for your list.

First of all, when I started the thread, I didn't mention Marvin Hagler.

The topic of this thread, was about close fights, but one was dull and the other was exciting. Both, however, were either close or competitive.

As for the list...

Vito Antuofermo, in the first fight.
Ray Leonard (regardless of the outcome).
Bobby Watts

You're welcome.

I was answering a specific question/example about hagler...and now you use an example where Hagler didn't even win??

Well done. Thanks for the softball over the middle. This example illustrates EXACTLY my position. Hagler was so upset about losing this fight, that he left the sport, and is still pissed about it to this day.

Perhaps, but I hear PLENTY of times when someone wins a dull fight, and are even harder on themselves.

What you hear is "I wasn't my best tonight. i should have done this or that. but I thank god that I came through and I still came out win the win".

And, I hear fans give him a lot more **** than that. Which, ultimately can control his destiny a lot more than that fighter can.

LOL. Had nothing to do with the fact that he thought he got robbed? Or that he was beginning to slip as is?

Ask Arturo Gatti...

What the hell would Arturo Gatti know about dull fights? Lol.

I'm glad you used diego as an example.

Castillo lost one of the greatest fights ever. When they asked JLC about it, he was kicking himself for a bad fight plan and for engaging so much.

I never - EVER - hear a loser in a great fight compliment himself. Or be happy about it. He always says 'I should have fought smarter'...

Only a loser is happy about losing.

Of course you are not gonna be happy about losing but I'd rather be remembered for giving it my all then running like a ***** and winning like Mayweather did against Baldomir.

Hey so and so lost the fight. yeah I know but he did what he could and fought his heart out!

over

Hey he won the fight!! Yeah, I know but he ran all night and it was ****ing boring!!


I'd rather chose the first.

look at it this way , after losing to casamayor , katsidis got a big fight with juan diaz who also lost.

what big fights did raheem get after his borefest win over erik morales?

Sometimes losing a great fight can boost your status more than winning a dull one and there are always rematches.

But I'd prefer to win.
