It seems to have become fashionable in this forum to belittle Earnie Shavers, write him off as nothing but a guy with an inflated record. I...
When he chose to use it, George Foreman had a heavy, thudding, surprisingly accurate jab. Not saying he's Top 5, but his jabs hurt.
I don't think it was in Hagler's nature to carry people. He'd have to pretty much have a gun pointed at him to do it. As mentally tough as...

Chuck Wepner ran a liquor store. Tony Galento ran, I think, a bar.
Thanks, guys. It's a tough call. I guess I favor Morrison by a hair, as I think he had more heart, was more flexible, and started fast. But...
