    Based on what? Did Tommy all of of sudden gain mystical powers as he moved up in weight so he could have stopped Marvin, you know, the same Tommy that lost a decision to Iran Barkley at 175? You have a crystal ball that indicates how Hags would have fought at 168?

    Hill lost to Hearns at 175. He got stopped by a Roy Jones bodyshot in 4 rounds.

    Ha,ha. Seriously? Was Minter maybe one of the hooligans that threw a bottle at Hagler after he was declared the winner? Can't remember anything else he threw in the fight that visibly hurt Hagler.

    Minter started well and in an interview said he hurt Hagler bad and that`s why he started brawling.

    I'm sure Minter likes to try to convince himself of that.

    Marvin would have never been so foolish to fight Foster, he' gets knocked out inside 5

    Cocaine is a helluva drug. Anyone who thinks Marvin can overcome Bob Foster at 175 is on it.

    Well, it doesn't apply to this thread because I've still yet too see anyone here saying Hagler would have won.

    Hearns caught him many times during their brief bout and it had no effect.

    Tiger was a tank. If Foster could knock him dead with one punch he could do it to Hagler.

    Hagler right leg gave in and he was rocked and flinched where he was hurt and brushed his glove over the area.. Hearns hurt him. Too bad Hearns broke his hand because he could have stopped him, but had he stopped him we would no have had the whole first round and the war to remember.
