    Alexis Arguello (Aaron Pryor)
    Thomas Hearsn (Hagler)
    Roberto Duran
    Marvin Hagler (Sugar Ray Leonard)
    Micheal Spinks (Tyson)
    Miguel Cotto (Margarito)
    IS this a joke? After a 3 years layoff Ali was not in his prime and admittidly so. His best years were before he was forced to take that layoff.

    It was Hagler's last professional fight, he had already had 64 fights. He was no longer in his prime but still a very good fighter.
