Marvelous Marvin Hagler versus Chris Eubank

lets be realistic.
i was reading 2 days ago about mcCallum and now i'm reading about eubank - both british fighters who never fought on the world stage and therefore never garnered international recognition.

because they never sought it.

having a "what if" session for fighters who genuinely don't deserve to be mentioned alongside the likes of hagler is, in my opinion, giving too much credit to the fighter who never put himself on the line on the world stage.

if he had done we would be comparing their careers instead of assuming that the good form and record they had at home somehow make them legitimate contenders to be compared to the best of an era...

 

I can definitely relate to that.

 

:rofl

 

I don't know where you come up with the idea that Mike McCallum was British and didn't care much for the recognition.

He wanted the fight in 1984 with Roberto Duran, he was the mandatory, but Roberto Duran gave up his belt to take part in a mega fight with Thomas Hearns. This led to a fall-out with Manny Steward, as McCallum was a Kronk fighter.

Furthermore, McCallum fought in several different countries.

 

I think he's confusing him with the other British MW great - Gerald McClellan.

 

oops!

sorry guys. just finished a 13 hour shift at work.

 

cheers. yes i was. tired from work.

 

now that my slip-up has been corrected i'm waiting to here your response if you have one.

 

Michael Watson?
Nigel Benn?
Herol Graham?

 

We'll let you off. Just this once mind!:blood

 

thanks mom :thumbsup

 

That's got to be a joke?

 

When I get home tired from work, I read books about by favorite Puerto Rican fighters Roberto Duran, Fernando Vargas, and Carlos Monzon.

Then I read about Charley Burley and the Black Murderers Row which consisted of fighters like Ricky Hatton, Tommy Morrison, and Gerry Cooney.

 

not if you live in denmark, europe.
woke up at 6am.
did a 6k run, and workout before a 13 hour labor shift.

not bad for a 40 year old, eh?
