So why was Marvin Hagler never told to move up in weight to challenge himself?

He had good available competition at 160.

Opinion NOT Fact

I don't understand your frustration. Even though I think it's a bit irrational to ask Floyd to fight Ward; the fact that people are asking Floyd to move up, or fight bigger fighters, is truly a compliment to his amazing skill set.

What this guy said

the hagler example doesnt get floyd off the hook. why wouldn;t you want to see the best of this era challenge himself? i just dont get it.

duran, srl, hearns all moved up as did many others, floyd can too

That's basically what I said in my OP lol

That they're proving how phenomenal Floyd is

ahhh, i see. Didn't read the last paragraph lol

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

lets put it this way:

Duran moving up to beat Barkley is a greater feat than Floyd's last 4 fights combined.

Floyd is out of challenges...he's too good...he must move up. And as fans we should want him to, not make excuses.

It would be awesome to see, but I'm not gonna hold it against him if he doesn't do it. A lot of his haters will call him a duck for not fighting at 160 or higher, but that's just silly.

floyd has already moved up 5 divisions

so what? pac has "8" division titles and it means dick

i concentrate on WHO people fought in their prime as opposed to divisional titles

WilikinsOlajuwon is one of the haters i'm talking about lol

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

If he moved up and dominated at 160 these same noobs would be saying he needs to go to 168. Bunch of clowns really.

How is the "other" fighter even challenging himself if he's facing someone 30+ pounds lighter than him!!!!

PARADOX lmao
