    Barry`s power looks solid on this vid but most of his shots were light shots like Loma`s:

    Pathetic as always. But expected. Just one of many here that see 1 fight of a fighter and are suddenly an expert.

    Who said he punched like Tyson??? There you go again wr with your constant comparisons because you just cant help yourself can you. McGuigan broke people down body to head and yes he did hit very hard. To compare him to Loma and Taylor is just more evidence in what a screw ball you are

    Loma finished Linares with one shot to the body, but most of his shots are light quick shots all I was saying is that Barry often threw lighhter quick combos mixed in with harder shots too, Loma does the same thing, no biggie right?

    McGuigan was a heavy handed puncher.
    RIP Young Ali

    Instead if changing your story and constantly comparing fighters to other fighters just sit down and watch him fight instead of highlite clips. You still dont know WTF your talking about here

    He is an idiot Bob. His parents were idiots. Comparing prime McGuigan to Homola is like comparing Mickey Walker to Ronnie Harris.

    If you only saw 1 fight, how do you know this? You don't. You have actually regressed over the years. Sad.

    Agreed. McGuigan might be getting a little underrated around here.

    I agree Barry didn't carry Tyson like power.
    But he was very heavy handed.
    And he hit harder then Loma.
    Remember Barry broke Taylors ribs and also dropped steel chinned Eusebio although Eusebio was past his prime.

    You know more about Barry than me, but Loma is on another planet to McGuigan.

    He tended to hit harde than Loma at times what I`m saying is that the heavier shots were mixed in with softer shots, which is what Loma also does, even if on average Barry would sit down on his shots more than Loma, maybe P4P Barry hit harder than Loma but don`t forget Loma is bigger than Barry as was Meldrick Taylor, however the Loma comparison is more apt because he started at super-feather.

    So, you've also seen a shot, super featherweight McGuigan, in his last ever professional outing then.

    Not sure that'll help your understanding much, either.
