I think someone is going to get a nasty E-Mail from Cordoba... Although controversial and ultimately meaningless in the fight, Hagler was clipped with a left hook as he slipped, and although very harsh, the ref was within his rights to issue a count.
Duran is potentially the best fighter in the second half of the 20th century Competitive, but I don't see anyone he fought being rated higher
atsch So out of 4 fighters, you think the 3 americans will make up 75% of the vote....no ****. It doesn't take Scotland Yard to figure that one out.
Duran Then pre 1982 Leonard based on potential, he never lived upto the what if Haggler and hearns is a toss up Haggler is more rounded, hearns the more talent Duran is up there with Roy jones, James toney, Lennox Lewis,
who are u kidding with this? u know WHy its controversial? becuz it was a bad call. it was a bad call becuz as Merchant said, "it was more of a push and a pull" there was no clip as u put it Hagler has never been stopped and never been dropped and always fought his way to victory. that puts him in exclusive company, the likes of which Leonard and Hearns will never see
as to the story there was a thumb, the thumb has never been seen not even in slow motion replays from all angles Hagler shut the eye with his fist the way Duane Thomas shut and broke the eye socket of Mugabi a pinpoint accurate uppercut right on the mark i credit Roldan for the tremendous effort. he fared much better than predicted but in order to carry out the win took actual effor tand that effort was carried out by the only one good enough to make it work: hagler not Leonard, Hagler PS: the blueprint for beating Hagler is handicap him by waiting him out 6 yrs and then go after him in his last fight now go away u dumb broad. I bet u like it up the ass
You are entitled to your opinion and so am I. We both may feel it should of gone down as a slip, but it did not, thus Hagler officially took a count. Which still puts him in pretty 'exclusive company'...
I see what u are saying but u and I both know it was really he ref's mistake ali was ruled off his feet by Wepner, not that anyone cares
Personally I always felt that it was more slip than knockdown, but Roldan's glove made contact with Hagler and Hagler went down, so I suppose logically they had to call it.
