    Hagler was ambidextrous, a fluid switch hitter who could box, brawl, slug. He became seek and destroy later in his career against Hearns and Mugabi when his physical tools greatly eroded and he was forced to go to war.

    I personally think Hagler was a lot more fluid, nuanced and diverse than Spence.

    True Hagler is the more skilled of the two, but i do think Spence's fight mentality is similar to that of the Marvelous one. :chuck:

    No problem what so ever, I'm glad you got something out of it. That's the ultimate aim for my uploads.

    Do you ever post on classic, C.J?

    That POS Leonard stabbed Don in the back. He was supposedly retired & working as an advisor to Don. Don wanted to move up & challenge Hagler. Leonard kept telling him to WAIT!!! Suddenly its announced the Leonard himself had been negociating with Hagler all the time & had got the fight for himself SOB would never fight Don

    I think a lot of fighters back in the 80's were on the "outside looking in" in regards to the fab four and the kind of money they were all able to command, especially in bouts with one another.
