    If you want to talk Marvin Hagler you need to start a Marvin Hagler thread. This is a Joe Louis thread.:deal

    He would have an excellent chance against the Klits and would ****ing destroy any of the bums at cruiser. The only two cruisers in history worthy of facing Joe Louis are Holyfield and Spinks. Boxing was much better in Joe's era.

    Well, Hagler wasn't very long ago.

    Evolution is usually a longer-term process than that.

    No it's not, you ****ing ****. It's the same thing, and the analogy applies in every way. As far as your Hagler post, it's not like Hagler can only be seen in black and white is it? What, where you born in 2002 that he seems like such a historical figure to you?

    As far as who beats him, Jones for sure and easily, Hopkins 99% and I'd favor a prime Toney as well when he's on his game.

    If you made a thread Jack Johson v. Wlad WITHOUT showing this clip, half the forum would pick Johnson and call you an idiot for picking against him. Including uber-tards like Zod. Of course, since we're LOOKING at the clip, we know that Corey Sanders slaughters Johnson while smoking a cigar.

    If you know anything about boxing technique and you watch Joe Louis you'll see he is easily one of the best technicians in heavyweight history.
