WHICH ONE was the better FIGHT?

[Moon]

Castillo-Corrales was good, but it was mostly two guys leaning on each other's shoulder for 10 rounds.

Hagler-Hearns is a true classic. Two masters at the top of their game, going all out, with skills unseen in the Cas-Cor fight.

Castillo-Corrales was closer to a Ward-Gatti than Hagler-Hearns.

Exactly! It was the lack of a Hearns chin that makes Castillo vs. Corrales better...Hearns is not the type of guy that is going to eat big punch after big punch. His weak Chin made the fight look pretty damn brutal. Castillo vs. Corrales was just as brutal, I think more brutal the difference being that both guys ate big punch after big punch. Hearns eats a big pnch and then goes into his patented chicken dance, man I loved it when Hearns would get wobbled!

thx scap for agreeing with me, I dont see any other logic to it.
Hearns was hurt with a jab a punch that was hardly seen in the Castillo fight.The hype around the Hearns Hagler fight was 1000 times greater than the other, but no way was it better.

you learned about the hagler-hearns fight in some song lyrics or on a message board, since you started to watch boxing about 3 years ago.

then, you downloaded the hagler-hearns fight off of kazaa, and immediately praised it as the greatest of all-time to gain some credibility.

what skills?

if anything, corrales-castillo had more skills with all the inside fighting, and two warriors fighting, as opposed to a guy with a glass chin only being able to go 3 rounds.

i wouldve felt ripped off if i had gotten a PPV for hagler-hearns and it was done after 3 rounds.

the mouthpiece **** corrales pulled off only made it more memorable, and made it clear buddy just wants to fight. he took a nasty blow in the first knockdown, GOT UP. kept taking a nasty beating, GOT UP.

whether the mouthpiece helped him or not, he wanted to keep fighting even though he was pretty much out, and he ended up winning. most other fighters wouldve pulled a clifford etienne and taken out the mouthpiece, but not gotten up and collected their paycheck.

A brawl, yes. But at least give it the title of "precision brawl" or "master brawl", 'cause the guys were not intent on giving us the Castillo-Corrales throw-back style of "you-lean-on-me-I'll-lean-on-you". I'm guessing you're saying that both Hagler's and Hearns' display of boxing prowess compares with that of Castillo/Corrales?

Actually, watched it live on ABC Wide World of Sports.

Castillo-Corrales was more brutal...

but Hagler-Hearns, they were both BETTER fighters, more power, etc.q

[Moon]

I can only say it one more time ..... Hagler and Hearns = masters. They gave us a classic. In another five or ten years it will still be viewed as classic because it was two top-tier guys, in their prime, going full pull. Whereas, Cas-Cor was a very good throw-back fight, but not classic material, but will be memorable to some.

i gave all you ****ing morons a well deserved dose of bad karma. im gonna jet to goto breakfast, later.


the reason hagler hearns was better is

nobody pussied out at the end spitting out their mouthpiece

way more elite moves were used, check out hearns using the ropes for leverage in round one,

hearns broke his right hand on haglers head in round one, that was an epic punch and proves he had an epic chin..not to mention add hella drama to the fight and show how brave and great hearns was for continuing to throw that right hand even after it was broke


it was war from the opening bell very much on a different level than jlc castillo

and finally i will add its mostly latino ****heads voting for jlc -corrales..you chumps are only voting because you want a mexican fight to go down as the all time great fight, you guys are morons.. you dont see me voting for the lesser fight just because their skin is lighter do you?

**** you. seriously, **** off.

[PapiShasho]

no.

hagler and hearns mightve been better fighters, "masters" or whatever, but they didnt show any mastery of anything in their fight.

there was no skill in that fight, besides a few common boxing tactics, but it was pretty much a street fight with one hard ass, and one guy with no chin.
