    I think you should follow a different sports. There’s no way he could last a minute with Tommy Hearns.Anyone who follows the sport, even casuals, knows there is no way that Hagler Duran goes the distance!

    I find this thread idea so completely out there that I think it's actually impossible to even attempt to speculate.

    Why can't we at least discuss less abstract concepts like ''If Tony Tubbs lost 50 pounds and carried Jack Dempsey's punching power, do you think he could beat himself?" That's the kind of grounded thinking I can at least form some logical conclusion around.

    You just had to bring up Mike Tyson didn't you, Fergy? In a thread about Hagler, u manage to bring up mike.

    I've heard you've now watched Mike Tyson:The Fallen Champ a staggering 267 times.

    I heard your fellow office worker's get incensed when you play "A lesson on intimidation from Mike Tyson" over and over and over again!

    He'd fare okay as long as he avoided the bigger punchers.

    The dynamite punchers of the 70's and 80's just didn't exist in Haglers time. It's fair to say though that getting rocked by a blown up Welterweight is a good indication that Marv's chin was actually his Achilles heel.

    An 'Accumulator' to retire on... ...even if it took 12-13 years to payout.
