Who'd he fight? Whod he KO that was so iron chinned? I dont remember anyone. Just because hes heavier doesnt mean crap to me. Cyclone was dropping lightheavies in the gym as was Briscoe. We all know about Hearns gym exploits too.Power is power and Hagler was in there with legit power.
Here's the fight ... tell me where on the time code .. I just don't see it .. This content is protected
Hagler didn’t take the punches of a a cruiserweight so how do we know he wouldn’t’ve been dropped against Carl Thompson who is a huge puncher, I’m sure he’d knock out Hagler, also Thompson hit Eubank with plenty of huge punches and didn’t drop him, I know he did at one point, but Eubank did take some big punches
Well who did Briscoe KO who was so iron chinned? Or Hart? Neither of them ever KOed anybody half as good as Haye. Their power comes from what people say about it, and how it looked when he KOed people. Considering Thompson was doing the same to fighters much bigger, while looking just as impressive, should be more than enough to say he hits harder. Significantly so. It's like saying Manny Pacquiao hits harder than Kovalev. Given the size difference, I just can't see it. Thompson's power was insane. This content is protected
Jeez George I gave you my damn opinion multiply times. I disagree with you and that's it. Thompson means nothing to me absolutely nothing. I'll say it one last time for you. I pick Hagler and I feel he consistently faced the harder punchers throughout his career as opposed to one guy who didnt beat anyone worthwhile IMO
Alright no need to spit your dummy out. It's interesting though how you feel like Thompson didn't beat anyone of note when his best win is David Haye. I wonder how you feel about all of Briscoe and (especially) Hart's best wins.
Eddie Gregory George Benton Draw with Monzon Kitten Hayword All better than Haye IMO regardless if they won a belt or not. I also feel he beat Antuofermo too. Hart may not have any major wins but anyone that I can remember that fought him and spoke on it said he had the hardest hook bar none. Vito said in an interview he almost quit against Hart multiple times and that's the only time he felt that way in his career. But your entitled to your opinion as I am mine.
Hagler. Absorbed Hearns righthand which was a HUGE punch. Took everything Mugabi hit him with and never dropped. Cyclone Hart samething. Benn dropped Eubank. So did Watson. Hagler was down ONCE which was a slip. Eubank multiple times. This really shouldn't even be a question.
Remember it well, it wasn't. Hagler fought so many proven punchers. Think about this list. Briscoe, Hart, Lee, Obijimas Roldan, Sibson, Minter, Hearns Mugabi, even Hamsho, and Antefermo though not devastating punchers like the 1st 9 I named could badly hurt opponents with a single shot. What did all of them get when they landed cleanly on Hagler? A sneer and pissed him off.
