    Hagler perhaps wasn't that great.

    Hagler, Hearns and Leonard all gave him him a fight.

    Can you imagine what Joe Calzaghe would do to those fighters, it sure as hell wouldn't be a fight.

    You're the biggest nuthugger on the board. Take it as a compliment.

    Thanks Duranimal, Benny

    I was once one of his (SRL) supporters in what looked like a promising career but gradually switched sides

    You sure walked into that one

    I switched because like President Obama, he fell short of expectations and just plain wasnt performing

    you mean that broken down relic that was heading to pasture?

    I call that sloppy seconds. calling a man out after 5 years

    too scared to defend that title but not too scared to go after easy prey like Lalonde.

    Not enough man in him to call out Nunn. That's weak

    and people like you expect people like me to be impressed.

    Look at how easy Norris man handled him despite "overcoming" 4 HOFers. Kicked that ass and sent him packing with his tail between his legs

    I wouldnt consider split decision overcoming

    Hearns overcame Duran

    Foreman overcame Frazier

    Leonard? Who has Leonard overcame, Andy Price?
