By Lee Groves - Hagler-Hearns.

For those who were lucky enough to witness their battle for the undisputed middleweight title 25 years ago today, their hyphen-linked names remain a short-cut method of describing the kind of robust, vigorous combat that is promised so often in pre-fight promotions, but seldom fulfilled.

I was a 7 year old kid and my Dad took me to see that at a closed circuit theatre. I was a Tommy Hearns fans and will never forget the nervous feeling I got when the hooded Hagler made his way into the ring. When the ring announcer introduced Hagler he started beating on his head and I knew Hearns was in trouble at that point lol. The first round was one of the best ever but after that it was pretty much all Hagler.

Damn the good old days when the best fought the best. No exception. Miss those days. Now we got multiple division champions that could easily fight the best in their division but have excuse after excuse. Freakin disgusting, freakin disgraceful, boxers should be ashamed of themselves.

God damn, their is no reason on earth justifiable that we couldn't have the best fighters in the world fight each other. No excuse for not having Wlad/Haye, Hopkins/Dawson, and Mayweather/Pacman fighting each other. Dumb. Quit fn bitching like girls and be real boxers and do something for the sport, fight...

Where were you ?

Those were glory days! I was in Cinn. Ohio in a sportatorium with friends and about 5000 fans going crazy! ALL were standing, it was bedlium, I remember hollaring to the top of my lungs and could not hear myself. The lady next to me flopped down in a heap when Hearns was getting the chop.

All those guys fought. Lots of trash talk but when they got in the ring they fought, they didn't take time to shoulder roll **** and run **** but flat out fought. Both of these men would destroy the Mayweather of today. The Mayweathers of that era weren't ****. I used to watch the Black Mamba, I watched him hit the canvas like you shot him in the head with a cannon by Rocky Lockridge and by Chavez, and he quit in the second fight. Sugar Ray made Mayweather sr. looked like swiss cheese.

I try to get excited about today. ITs hard to get there when I think of the old days. The top fighters are fighter themselves but then there is one who has all the skills but has no balls. I don't understand why he don't have the balls. Hearns Hagler Leonard Duran Benitiez sp and others had the BALLS, the skills, they weren't afraid to both fight and use their skills.

Because Jr. talks and fights small and old guys not wanting knots on his bald head but WANTS ALL THE MONEY, is what makes fightfans hate the guy. He is a mockery to the purist. He only satisfies those who don't know better, he is the best they have ever seen. Where were you when Hagler fought Hearns?

I can get past the vile putrid trash talk of Jr. if only he will come out and fight Mosley.

I generalby watch a fight several times especially the great one, even the good ones, but the fight between Jr and DLH made me sick to watch and I tried to watch it the second time and just deleted it. I have tried to go back but only get so far and shut it off. Pretty boy is just that, pretty boy stuff won't stack up with real men fighting.

The pretty boy today would have been massecred by the guys of yesterday and there wouldn't be any hoopla going on.

Where are the Fighters?

The best fight today is Pacman vs Mosley

Prove me wrong Pretty Boy Jr Mayweather, please go out there and prove all the old guys wrong.
