After Hagler might be Adolfo Viruet, who gave Duran trouble at lightweight.
Senor Pepe', Far be it for me to argue with you and another fine post of yours. But to this one, I'd mention that Mundine was not a great...
I'm obviously no Monzon fan, but the above is an excellent, well-thought-out, nuanced, and balanced post.
Please allow an apparent "neophyte" and possible "deficient observer" to respond. If such adjectives are what merely disagreeing with you merits...
Seems a ridiculously easy question. Leonard's victory over Hagler was of course greater. Everyone's failing to mention that Leonard had come...
Interesting information, Senor Pepe', as usual from you! As to Monzon's record, don't ask me what I think of Bethea or perennial contender...

Hell, on Lampley's HBO half-hour show tonight about judges and scoring, the one round of Pac-Bradley they showed in its entirety (the 7th), won by...
Please allow me to disagree with most, but apparently not all, here at Eastside Boxing, as some here on this thread apparently are of the same...
