Leonard v Hagler at 160 in the early-mid 80s - please vote and comment

Holy ****. Does anyone else on planet earth agree with this fruicake's views on Hopkins against Sibson, Hamsho, and Obel? Hilarious.

 

The problem with that is you'd have to rely on Hagler coming down to that level. What if Hagler is pumped and in destruct and destroy mode the way he was for Minter or Lee or Hearns?

Nobody can fight like hagler when he's on the kill. Hagler is supernatural! hopkins is master of his division in his own time but Hagler is far far more! Hopkins would have to be insane to mess with hagler when he was the dominant force in boxing

 

I'd give Animal Fletcher a good chance too. You know very little about hagler's opposition: Obel, Sibson, Hamsho, etc. Brush up on it will you?

 

That's the advantage when you have actually SEEN the opponent; You KNOW that you know! Whereas people like you only THINK they know :yep

 

I know enough about Rolden, Obel, Sibson, etc. Trust me, those guys were solid ranked middleweights. And if it weren't for Hagler, they would have shared a reign each at the top. But those fighters aren't on the same planet as Hopkins when it comes to intelligence, boxing ability, and defense.

Just ask old Don Familton about B-Hop.

 

Fletcher would go out on a stretcher against Hopkins.

 

Intelligence, boxing ability-yeah, they all look good on paper, especially during an era of weak competition. no doubt you would have been arguing how X would have taken Roy in a fight had they just missed each other.

But they didn't.

It's like someone trying to tell me how much more infinitely better Ray Leonard was than Terry Norris :-( while getting his ass whipped

I'm betting someone like James Green, managed by the Duvas and who upset Wilford Scypion in 1982, could have gone in there and fearlessly taken the fight to X in a similar manner, and there's not a damn thing he could have done about it.

hopkins can't punch worth a **** anyways so what could possibly slow him down? Green would make his way inside and duck under Hops futile counters all night long and plug away. Green's workrate would have been superior to that of Hopkins. So he would have lost to James Green too!

I'm sorry bro but while X looks great in some other era removed from the Hagler, the Nunn's the Jackson's, I really dont have that high an opinion of your man X. He's just too average. Ask Roy Jones :yep

So forget about him beating the likes of MMH. Just imagining him making it to the tenth round is too much of a stretch.

 

Rooster. You talk so much nonsense.
