    I'm sure you look like a ****-eyed fool in any number of your photographs, and what do you say when girls online see them? You say, 'that isn't a fair representation of me.' Doncha honey.

    I have Hagler in the top 3, here`s why. He had great stamina, granite chin (so you weren`t going to stop him ), excellent switch hitter, and a true will to win. He beat Antuofermo 11-5 in rds the first time, and buried him the second time. He fought the guys who beat him and KO`d all of them in rematches. He could slug obviously, but he was a very underrated boxer as well. Walker, Greb those likes would have been tough for him, but I see Hagler finding a way to outbox them. SRR and maybe Monzon would be the most difficult. But I agree the middles are rich with history and talent and you could make the case that on any given night, any of them could reign supreme !

    No. I say that I have a lovely personality, and that my record of girls smashed backs me up.

    In terms of champs at 160, hell yes, Hagler is top-10 of all-time.... At 160, Hagler is top-5 in my book.... WTF?

    h2h @ 160 : Hagler above Toney , Hagler a lock for top 10 @ 160 , of course.
    p4p : Hagler clearly below Toney , whom had belts at 3 weight classes to Hagler's 1 , had a much longer career , and fought much more formidable opponents overall despite being out of shape , but still remained unstopped . Ask yourself if Hagler was allowed all the PEDs in the world , would he have lasted the distance twice against Sam Peter @ age 37-38 ?
    would he have stopped a 41 years old Holyfield @ age 35 ? would he have even won a decision against that version of Holyfield ? how about Jirov ?

    Doesn't stop me from being an ugly ******* though, does it? And Greb's record doesn't mean he looks any less ridiculous in that clip. Done.

    Lets not even attempt to bring Harry Greb into this.

    He is the most overrated fighter by FAR in Classic

    Hagler is surely superior to Greb. I have simulated this matchup in my mind to find that Greb would not be able to stand up to Hagler's advanced weaponry and would be stopped short by Hagler's lead right in the form of jabs & hooks which would tear open Greb's face for a late tko

    Many people here like to underrate Hags
