    I know people argue about the result but Leonard outclassing Hagler at 160 having fought once in 5 yrs was an incredible performance.

    You just needed a reason to publicly blow Floyd?

    He did not outclass Marvelous Marvin and many of us scored it for Hagler. It was a very close fight.

    Two best performances of my lifetime (born in 1992)

    - RJJ against Toney
    -Pacquiao against Barrera

    I really don't see any argument that these would not be the top 2 performances of the last 30 years. We ain't talking bums. That is the James Toney and Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Midway through the first round Giachetti yelled at Arcel, "How's he look?"

    "He's beautiful," Arcel screamed. "He's just beautiful."

    Judges Harold Buck and Joe Swessel had given Holmes every round and scored it 120-108. Judge Dave Moretti awarded Shavers the 10th round, which cut Holmes' margin to 119-109.
