WHICH ONE was the better FIGHT?

[Moon]

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?

Call off the attack dog. We have a difference of opinion, but it's only that. I'm not sure why you feel so strongly about Corrales-Castillo's inside skills. It was a great display, for sure, but it was largely limited to a throw-back inside game. Corralles and Castillo have attained a certain place in boxing history based on their overall skills, while Hagler and Hearns have also attained some stature in the boxing game, based on their skills.

Check out Hagler-Hearns again and you'll see two guys with masterful skills, while all-out brawling. It was a display of top-tier speed, ability, heart and skill. I'd just rather see it again right now than watch Castillo-Corrales give each other targets for 10 rounds.

nah, i usually just hate the oldie syndrome where people try to fit in by always saying anything old school is always better, but if you honestly think hagler-hearns is better, so be it.

i disagree.

If there is guys that belong on the p4p list it should be Castillo and Corrales. You cant say hagler and hearns was on another level if anything this was a way bigger clash of styles than the over hyped match up of hearns and hagler. For what it lasted it was very exciting but hearns had already been exposed and got exlosed further more in just 3 rounds.

Good point, I agree!

[Slipx]

it was a brawl what skills did I miss in this fight.

hearns using the ropes for defense and to add leverage to his punches

didnt expect a blockhead liek u to recognize that tho, no wonder u think castillo corrales is better, you dont even recognize skill when you see it

how come all the latinos are voting for castillo corrales? you just want a fight thats fought by mexicans to be the best fight of all time, thats all it is

why cant people be unbiased like me and look past that ****?

u all are no better than iwatchboxing's opinion that tito was better than ali

Papi....

The day after Hagler beat Hearns.....it was already being hailed as the most furious, thrilling fight in history. After the initial shock of it wore off, it still retained that praise.
20 years later, still the same.

What I'm saying is....Hagler-Hearns isn't a case of nostalgia getting the better of people.
It was legendary from DAY ONE.

Using the ropes? wow that is some skill slip, wrestlers use it all the time to get leverage to use their fake ****. How long did this very rare skill last him?you always got to turn everything a latino says into a biased opinion.There is no way around it Castillo and Corrales was a more evenly matched fight than Hearns Hagler making it the better fight.It has nothing to do with any of them being mexican or PR or Latino.Comparing posters to i watch is just palin ****** slip. when have you seen my sig read **** american fighters Mexicans are better. Go back and read the facts i put in my post and tell me where it says this fight was better cause their was a Mexican involved.
Slip i know your as ****** as you sounded in your last post, you seem like you like to argue just for the sake of arguing without a good argument slip it is just plain DUMB.

[scap]

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

Completely brilliant Fuego, what would boxingscene be like without you, I cant ****ing imagine it!

****ing dip****!

I agree that the fight was between 2 legends making this a super hype since the day it was signed. it lived up to the hype answering questions like Hagler being able to take Hearns right hand.He did take it and got a big ass cut on the top his because of it, but the thing is Hearns could take a punch and the whole 3 rounds of the fight showed that. unless your into guys using the ropes to get leverage on their punches and go as far as calling that SKILL.

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?

Man, you shouldn't even be talking, no offense but white people never make it big, so stop talking ****, youll be sitting down watching a latino, black, etc, boxing fight on TV just like it always happends.
