Hagler vs calzaghe

Wow someone is getting a little upset. I'm not a yank either you inbred moron.

You will struggle to find a list of top middleweights that does not have Hagler in the top 3. Where the **** is Calslappy rated? who did he beat? the best two names on his record are a shot to **** Roy Jones and a split decision win over Grandpa time.

Also listing people that Hearns didn't knock out and then comparing their chins to Calzaghe's is logic that is beyond flawed. Tyson didn't knock out James Tillis, but then went on to KO people with far better chins than Tillis . i.e. Larry Holmes

 

Rubbish.

 

Go on then einstein, do impart your wonderful logic to the rest of the world. Exactly what is about Calzaghe's chin that convinces you that if Hearns hit it Joe wil get KTFO?

This I can't wait to see.

What there is though is plenty of evidence that even if Hearns floored him Calzaghe could get up and play Wipeout on those china chops of Tommy's and have him chicken dancing right into his trainers open arms.

 

hahaha Hearns is one of the hardest hitters pound for pound there has ever been, and that is enough to give him a good chance of knocking the **** out of anybody.

And yh its obvious he didn't have the greatest chin, but to hurt him you would have to punch him, not slap him like a *****

 

You dont bet against prime Hearns unless his opponent is a heavy hitter.

 

Exactly

 

Hearns would control the pace from long range. Calzaghe would never see the right hand that ends the bout within 6 rounds.

 

Of course Grant, Barkley, and Leonard were all known as devastating punchers weren't they?

Calzaghe's " slaps " were more than enough to get those scrawny legs going all over the place.

 

Hearns was 42 when he fought Grant and retired in his corner because of an injured ankle. You obviously just looked that result up on boxrec or wikipedia.

And neither leonard or barkley could repeat what they had done in their first fights against hearns when they rematched him, Leonard in fact getting put on his ass twice.

 

Context please. The Hearns rematch was 8 years later....Leonard had been retired twice by this point, was slowing down, and really didn't show much durability at super middle...he had just been dropped by LaLonde.

The Barkley rematch was 4 years later in a higher weight class. Barkley had a rough stretch in that time, getting the **** beat out of him by Duran & Benn. He still beat Hearns in a close fight, and dropped him.

I just don't like the implication that Hearns was some sort of rematch king, when we are talking fights that happened many years after the fact at higher weight classes that favored the broader Hearns with Ray and Barkley on a faster decline than the Hitman.

 

At super middle or LHW? Nah.

Hearns was getting older and having stamina problems, he dropped the fading Ray but couldn't close the show. Ray outhustled him down the stretch, hurt Hearns several times, and made it a draw, though I scored it for Hearns it wasn't a convincing effort by any means.

I think Calzaghe would stop this version of Hearns, he was prime at Super Middle, not a declined Welter Great going in and out of retirement. His best win at this weight was against Hill, who was a fantastic counter puncher, those types he could still beat. But Calzaghe would press the older Hearns and force the tempo, something Hill couldn't do. It would be simliar to Calzaghe/Kessler..whom a declined Hearns wasn't that much better then. This isn't prime Hearns the boxer killer at WW or Light Middle.

 

Did he stay there?

Whoops.

 

The point I was making was not to do with the power of Hearns, but the fact that Leonard didn't hurt him the second time, so obviously his chin was not that bad.

Although from what I am getting from you so far, I think its safe to assume that it is more than likely that you use wikipedia as your main source of boxing knowledge lol and so probably do not have a clue what I am talking about.

There are plenty of other people here that believe a prime Hearns would stop Calslappy. Argue with them for a bit.

Piece of advice though, do not reference fights that you have not actually seen, or you may end up looking like an idiot just as you did when you were making out as if Grant had KO'd Hearns.

 

hagler in 11 he would wear calzaghe out and force the stoppage .

 

Now I'll give you some advice. Don't make stupid statements about the power of one fighter, and the chin of another when you haven't got a fvcking clue what you are talking about, leaving yourself to be exposed.

You can waffle on about Wikipedia, and Boxrec all you like, obviously your choice of knowledge, but nothing to do with me.

Tell me know it all how many times did Hearns floor Andries, only for Dennis to get up and chin him, before the final shots caused the stoppage.

The only thing that earned Hearns the victory that night was up against the crudest slugger ever to grace a ring. So crude in fact that Dennis would bowl himself over trying to throw haymakers.

So spare any **** you think you know about Hearns v Calzaghe.
