This is a great move. A belt at LHV makes him a player there and sets up a possible match with RJJ, Taylor, Tarver, Dawson or Hopkins/Calzaghe,...
On top of that, Mundine is a better fighter than Miranda and proven at SMW, whereas Miranda hasn't done jack at SMW.
Actually he was. Mugabi never beat anyone of note at MW. Trinidad destroyed Joppy (a good champion, who also accomplished more at MW than Mugabi...
1. I doubt Hagler would have KO'd Trinidad in 5 or less, when he couldn;t do that with Mugabi. Are you calling Mugabi a better fighter than...
Hopkins was 36 and past his physical prime, but he fought an amazing fight. Hopkins was 41 when he fought Tarver, and way past his pysical prime,...
Leonard is a better fighter than De La Hoya. I agree. Difference here, is that Del La Hoya didn't beat Hopkins, like Leonard beat Hagler. Hopkins...

No benefit, he lost, it was controversial, just Hagler's loss was. Difference being, Hopkins loss to a young and big MW, whereas Hagler lost to a...
\ Now you are just pulling for strings. No one in their right mind would call any version of Mugabi better than Winky Wright. Wright is better in...
Typically, when fighters lose their reflexes, and are as skilled boxers as you are making Hagler to be, then he would rely on his savvy and skills...
If anything the Taylor fights showed how much cutting down to 160 was affecting Hopkins, based on his performances against Tarver and Wright at...
Hopkins didn't struggle with Wright, he won a convincing decision. It was uglym but convincing. Additionally, Wright is a future HOF and top 10...
I have seen footage of Hagler from the late 70's and early 80's and to call him past his prime at 30-32 is ridiculous. I know why he retired as...
Are you slow??? If I view Hopkins as a more effective fighter than Hagler on the outside and inside, that shows a lack of knowledge? When no...
I don't know how you can consider a 32 yr old Hagler over the hill, when Hopkins is still defying Father time at 43. Hagler was always in...
