    Ermmm....NO!

    Can go through lists of fighters who couldn't lace Minter's gloves let alone Haglers. So No He Isn't the Worst Middleweight World Champion.

    Antuofermo had a big heart but not the most gifted fighter I've ever seen.

    Terrible thread. I mean, Joppy ffs.

    Minter fought in a good era, and had some good wins.

    Nonsense. Minter was a decent fighter. Much better than the likes of Pavlik,Sturm,Sylvester.........I could go on.

    I saw no reason at the time why he could'nt beat Hagler but the problem Alan had & always had is that he instinctivly wants too scrap & no one really knew much about Hagler & hindsite's fine for pricks like the threadstarter but on the day is another matter. It's a pity that Minter got robbed against Hamsho in the illiminator as he'd have given Marvin a tougher fight next time around IMO.
