    Um, that's what makes Triple G scary... the dude doesn't ever appear to really load up his punches. Very fluid puncher.

    Lol. Funny stuff. You make it sound like the 80s were antiquity. I love your " ...bedtime stories of the fighters of yesteryear" quote. Hilarious. Good job.

    Athletes haven't advanced in thirty plus years? I forgot the superiority of worldwide sports athletes from the 80s my bad sorry.

    That's not what I was inferring. I wasn't being sarcastic. I liked the post because I felt it was legitimately funny. Wasn't that part of your aim in the first place? I was inferring that when people use expressions like "yesteryear" it's usually from something like a "time forgotten", meaning ancient history. Btw, I still like the post. It's pretty damn funny.

    Hagler got taken the distance by WW's and LW's and would have been a JMW in today's era. only a gloid of the highest order would pick him. The stronger Charlo brother hits harder than Hagler and so did prime Kirkland.

    Agreed. GGG is just in another stratosphere in the power category. I have a feeling the fight ender with Jacobs is going to be brutal. He shouldn't have invited his kid there

    Man Bute looked like he was on top before that ko. GGG harder puncher, Hagler better all round fighter.

    Maybe Jacobs son can grow up and marry Pascal's daughter, they can get a group rate therapy.
