Very different. Those hell-bent charges into the fray against the 147-pound Leonard wouldn’t happen against the much bigger, stronger Hagler....
I think his chances would be better puffing up to 160.
If he moved up to 160, why would anyone think he’d retain even a fraction of the speed and flexibility and stamina he showed at 147 in Montreal?
I think I like Ayala here, but would not be the least bit shocked to see a Moore TKO victory. Truly a toss up.
Oh wow. Hadn’t seen that. RIP, Richard. Sorry to hear.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I just noticed the tagline under an old post under Richard Murrieta’s username. Did we lose Richard?
Excellent post. You wonder too, how Monzon fares against Hagler’s oft-used right hooks over an opponent’s low left(which Monzon was guilty of)....
Padilla was always a bad referee. He handled this situation miserably.
The only Eddie Taylor I know was the guy Jimmy Reed had on second guitar in his band.
Hearns. Never been a huge admirer of Griffith’s style. He works exactly as hard as he needs to to win, but doesn’t seem to have that extra gear...
I hate saying this, but Monzon on points. He was perhaps the world’s greatest nullifier. I hate watching his fights, but he was disgustingly...
The mid-80’s lightweights were all the rage at the time. Camacho Mancini Rosario Ramirez Bramble Tyrone Crawley Harry Arroyo Jimmy Paul Robin...
Excellent.
Fighters that were active during my period of interest (1970-1999-ish)? Okay, how about….. Whitaker Chavez Leonard Duran Arguello
Mexico’s best, absolutely. One of my least favorite fighters of all time.
