Fighters in their prime...

Amen brother. :thumbsup

Prime 29-0 UNDEFEATED Heavy Champ of teh World with win over 31-0 Ali And Foreman DESTROYED him in Only 2 roundz - with 6 knock-downs.:yikes :yikes
Prime Tyson would be V.lucky to get out of round 1 - cos his head-movement is less good, he never ever gets up And he less Tough in teh mind And in the Body. :deal

 

George gets underrated sometimes. He easily makes my top 5 all time heavies. And that's on his 70's career alone !!

What about you???

 

Did you just find out about Hagler yesterday?

 

Well I won't be as harsh as you are, but I always felt the 80-82 versions were Haglers prime/peak years. Wheteher you think he won Antuofermo I or not (I had Hagler by 1, but not a robbery), I think he improved much after that fight. For me I would pick the Hagler of the Minter fight as the best version. The 83 version against Sibson/Duran is probably quite close as well. By 85 against hearns, while still the best MW on the planet, was probably on the decline (or at least not as sharp) of those peak/prime years, but still very good!

 

Id agree with you, I might throw in Chuvalo II from 1972 in there too :good
