    My favourite slogan ever. That t-shirt that Hagler has with it on always cracks me up.

    It must be absolutely **** to be right up that alley but not quite good enough to make the moon yours. Destruct and destroy but not really because you can't get your man in your wheelhouse, can't get him to surrender anything on account of you not that good. He was a part of the club alright, for all that.

    Yes he did use footwork, but he could also stay in pocket And make you miss up close. Without using his footwork to stay out of harm's way.

    When he wanted to be defensive Mark Johnson showed that he can be slippery with his upper body movement with little footwork needed.

    Any answer to the thread question other than Nicolino Locche is incorrect.
