    So you were being sarcastic. Good.

    Speaking of the Hagler-Sibson fight. I watched it the other night. Hagler's jab was at it's absolute best. Sometimes when out of range he reached in with it almost leaping to reach the target and it never missed. And during the 6th round the onslaught was simply too much for Sibson to handle. IMO if Hagler wasn't as dominant as he was then Sibson would have grabbed the title for a period of time like Minter did back in 1980. Hagler actually said "Sibson hit me as hard as anyone else did"

    I appreciate Hagler and Hopkins immensely. They easily make my top 10 favs of all time.

    Sibson was a smooth, classy fighter.

    at least as good as someone like Nigel Benn, though his reputation hasn't aged as well.

    Just thought I'd point it out. Never tried to be sarcastic.
