Hagler was beatable at middleweight If lesser fighters can beat Hagler at middleweight, then Robinson surely can. End! I agree with Robinson...
As great as Tommy was, he didn't have great recuperation ... that is, if you had him hurt, Tommy could freeze up and not see out the round/fight....
Yeah, I think Ali motioned the referee to call it off twice during that sequence of unanswered punches. Lyle wasn't in life-threatening danger,...

I didn't mean pressing as in walking Duran down. One of the best punches to hit a southpaw with is the right hand and yes, Duran found success...
Yes, Duran was more skillful, but Hagler was the superior for conditioning, naturally stronger and bigger. There were times when he boxed...
