    This is probably his sharpest ever performance. Incredible performance.

    Its a good point worthy of discussion.

    Marvin methodically wore down and systematically dismantled prime to the bone spirited guys like Sibson ,Hamsho and Mugabi...arguably none of them were ever quite the same certainly not Mugabi.

    I think these early 80s graduates were stronger than the mid 80s grads Graham,Shuler and Kinchen....

    But the late 1980s crop like Nunn,,Kalambay ,Mccallum ,Tate get a lot more respect...

    A worn out rusty ill prepared Sibson pretty much kept Tate even for 8 rounds before gassing.

    There's an argument....in my mind at least...that prime Hamsho ,Sibson or Mugabi are underrated due to how Marvin made them look......that in a marvoul-LESS world they may have improved as champions and had 3-4 title defences and could conceivably have beat the late 80s guy.

    In summation thats how good Marvin was ...a top 3 ATG MW
