    Pre-Hagler and Pre-Hearns, respectively.....both known for HARD punching, although I favor the beast because he is bigger......

    Yes, I'd go with Mugabi as well because of the size advantage. He was physically stronger and could force Cuevas to fight off the backfoot.

    Wierdly enough - can we now look at Cuevas' effort against an inspired again Duran at 154 and now say with hindsight it probably wasn't too bad? Duran looked dynamite vs Pipino, probably the same Duran who fought Moore i'd guess. It's an interesting thought, and one very hard to be 100% sure of either way.
