Hagler - Baddest Mofo of our Era

Tony Ayala. In some ways he was; it was for those specific reasons he went to jail.

As for boxing, Tony was a definite would've been, in my book. He had all the ingredients. Talent, toughness, and a rage to match. El Torito would've been Hagler's toughest test.

 

Tyson's persona was in part manufactured. Hagler's was completely earned. I loved the way he gestured to Mugabi to get back up after the knockdown. Mugabi was like, "Are you kidding me? And take more of those hooks?"

Hagler was a bad mofo.

 

There was no letting up with Hagler. He didn't hold back at all when Hamani was rendered useless on the ropes.

 

Well, if they both continue taking their 'roids, maybe they can have that rubber match next year. (The way that franchise keeps on going, maybe they should hire George Romero to promote it.)

 

Definitely Marvelous Marvin Hagler.The Shaft of our era.

 

Mike Tyson was an animal.. but he was more the bully type who can't take getting beat.
Hagler was the quintessential bad-ass!! He looked like a black ming the merciless http://blogs.nypost.com/movies/archives/ming_merciless.jpg

 

Hagler is a great choice and so is Duran.
since the 90´s it has to be Erik Morales.

 

Looked bad against Hearns but didn't look so bad against when Vito A. walked through everything he had in the first fight, didn't look so bad against Duran, either.

Does a bad guy legally change his name to "Marvelous" because he's jealous that everyone called Leonard "Sugar?"

 

Hagler outboxed Duran, so I wouldn't say Duran took him to school. Duran wasn't just any ordinary blown-up lightweight. He beat Carlos Palomino and Sugar Ray Leonard at welterweight and Pipino Cuevas, Davey Moore, and Iran Barkley at middleweight.

 

Hagler -struggled w/Duran a lightweight
Duran- "No Mas"
Tyson -was exposed in upset of the century
Tony Ayala was the Baddest

 

Ayala was getting ready to be exposed when the unfortunate incidents in his life took over.

 

Ayala was nothing but scum.

 

Nigel Benn vs Hagler at their most ferociousness would have been a war.

 

Benn was indeed ferocious in his early middle days and would have been good for a short while but haglers sharp counterpunching would have reduced benn to rubble within three rounds tops.....Now benn in his later career at supermiddle would have lasted longer but still hagler would have whipped him.....Hagler loved come froward agressive punchers in his prime.....

 

Yes we all found out what type of person he was outside of the ropes and he was rightfully punished. But before he was convicted he was just walking through the jr mid weight class.
