I liken it to zale vs graziano. Ggg would be the zale and Lemieux Graziano. The reason is that ggg figures to win but lemieux has a punchers...
Hagler was not all that broad shouldered. He was a smallish middle with a small waist that made it appear he was broad shouldered. Look at Rocky...
Eduardo Lausse a middle from the 1950's, fits in there with Foster and Jackson for P4P punching power. You are probably right about Kovalev not...

Kovalev does the same thing Foster did. A brutal KO. Tiger was durable but against hard punching and talented LH's he was overmatched.

The Cotto fight may happen. The reason is that it would be a big sell. Cotto has a large following and Golovkin is a charismatic knockout artist....
Regarding Ali, i was at a number of his sparring sessions. He did NOT wear headgear in those sparring sessions. Just think of how many rounds of...
Eduardo Lausse, Joey Giambra, Tiger Jones, Holly Mims, Henry Hank. Paddy Young, Lazlo Papp.
