At 154, the DLH of 2001 / 2002 probably would out-class Mugabi of '85 / '86....... Mugabi only has a punchers chance......... DLH likely scores a decision win over a battered Mugabi, but DLH has some lumps afterward...... BILLARDO
I honestly think Mugabi did better because Hagler had lost his motivation and had been inactive one year since Hearns.
@Lora I can't help but remember how beautifully De La Hoya fought against Mayorga. Now, Mayorga at 154 was a lesser fighter than Mugabi at that weight, but the the similarities are there. (At 147, Mayorga was probably better than Mugabi ever was pfp and definitely craps on his resume.)
Both are rather unimpressive and beatable at this weight. Especially in the context of them fighting а naturally bigger, hard-hitting, tough awkward fighter in his prime.
