That the lineal 160 pound champion just vacated a world title belt. From Hagler's weight class. A weight class who's reputation was greatly built by Hagler's own labor. I think he may want to kill Canelo now.
There are a few things in boxing that will forever be untouched and sacred. One of those things are lineal champions. Canelo will face dire consequences for committing such a heinous act. I hope the fishnet stockings he parades around in Vegas give him a little restbite before a vicious Mexican gang beheads him.
If the ring had anything about them they'd strip him of their lineal belt .... Stevenson got stripped for equally cowardly actions But I suppose been oscars "main squeeze" has its advantages
He's thinking "I am literally a stone's throw away from beautiful scenery, beautiful women, and the world's best tasting coffee, every day of my life. I could not care less about what is going on in boxing, much less the more narrow scope of the middleweight division upon which I already left my indelible stamp with a crater-like impression unlikely to be matched in depth in my lifetime". I'm pretty sure he's good. Nothing but sunshine and idle shouts of "ciao" to passersby on scooters going through Hag's brain.
Nah. Hagler is Hagler. His reputation stands apart from whatever the guys that followed after him do. Pure badass. :thumbsup
Hagler, a guy who never dared to be great and whose biggest fights were against blown up welters and lightweights.
