Let's Hear It For Sugar Ray Leonard.

But Hearns was punching back, so Pearl's statement is blatantly false.

 

Yeah, Marvin relayed the fact that he was shot to redrooster when he had Red over the day after the fight to review the tapes together. They watched this over a few beers while Marv's wife Berryl cooked them up a roast which was followed by a sweet chocolate mudcake and then the bottle of Jack came out. Red promptly told Marv, look Marv i only had you ahead by 118 - 111 and if this sucker can not only take a round off you but also go the 12 i think it's time we shut up shop. Marv promptly rang Randy Gordon and announced that after heavily deliberating his future with his most trusted advisor it was time to call it a day.

 

Pass the pepper please Megs

 

FYI

Don't take him at his word Lethal. He doesn't believe his own words and displays nonsense only for display to ridicule. I should tell you that John has done this sort of thing before with others before you and started with me on a rumour that I was one of the other posters from the ESB classic section.

Several others from this forum disputed his claims although he was dead set and even tracked the times we came on and off the forum. Once this other fellow was banned, who by the way was very informative and knowledgable, he makes claims that anyone new to the forum with similar insights must be the same person but with a new name.

 

It appears there is another

glich in the system

:hi:

 

Although you missed one key detail mate. When Marv got the bottle of 'Jack' out he promptly hit his wife over the head with it. :good

 

Oops, "Bertha", new it was something to do with a golf club

and don't forget the jab that set up the sneaky overhand Jack!

 

Name calling is not an argument but rather a refuge for the ignorant. :!:

 

I see. Thanks for the heads up. What I see from these guys so far is Hagler is an inferior boxer because he had problems in his marriage and because I may be somebody else.

You're right. It is for the most part ad hominem tactics. The pattern I see is JohnThomas playing straightman to My Dinner with Conteh's insult comedy routine.

I have decided not to talk to these guys anymore. They aren't serious about classic boxing.

 

Promise?

:good

 

This has been a great thread so far...

 

Thanks. We try our hardest to please.

 

Props on making the thread.

Regardless of the Sugar Man's personality, he has to be regarded as one of the greatest fighters that ever stepped in the ring. He holds victories over Hagler, Hearns, and Duran - all ATG's themselves. None of them were shot fighters, Hearns was arguably in his prime, whereas Hearns was still great. Can't discredit the man.

His career showcases one of the most impressive highlight reels I've seen.

 

Sure you can--and you need to get your facts straight. Hagler was shot, Hearns was 3 years from his prime and didn't know how to clinch, Duran was on diurretics and took off 10 pounds three days before he weigh in.

Sugar's career was a joke.
