Besides De La Hoya, Jones Jr, and maybe Mayweather, there arent many fighters since those guys with near their skill level.Rooner Wrote:I was just about to compare the Gatti/Ward fights to our generations Hagler/Hearns or Leonard/Hearns. They are the epitome of what boxing is. Each man giving and taking the best the other fighter has to offer and coming back for more. If half the fighters today had HALF the heart of those two guys, boxing would be a much more entertaining sport to watch.In style yes but neither gatti, ward or even hearns could hold Haglers jock. I still say Hagler beat Ray Leonard.
Yes Goat, I bought it 5 years ago for $500 bucks when my car died and I promised myself I wont get something new till it dies. Ive bought wifey two cars in that time, but the fucking thing wont die. I purposely skip oil changes, drive it like I stole it, and it just keeps going.
No Keyser, Im 5' 6", close to 5'. Those 6" mean alot to my Napoleon complex.
Gonzo, Hagler did the most damage, but Leonard landed more punches. Plus, his comeback at the end of the fight surely swayed any judge that was on the fence.
