    You must hate Leonard, huh?

    The ring could be 100 foot and Dwight still hurts him bad.

    I AGREE BUT THIS IS NOT SOOOO ABSURD. WALKER. DAVE SHADE GREB. WALCOTT LATZO ALL FOUGHT LTHEAVY S. . IT WOULD BE WAY MORE INTERESTING THAN 1980 ALI VS PRIME ROCKY AND THAT THREAD KEEPS ON ROLLING. AMAZINGLY.

    What if Leonard and Dwight team up as a tag team vs PRIMO CARNERA?

    I get your point, and I agree that the Marciano vs 80 Ali thread is horrendous.

    But those guys never fought LHWs as aggressive and brutal as Qawi, and aside from Walker vs Loughran and Greb vs everyone, I can't really think that those guys fought better than Qawi

    They also had stumpier builds and attributes much better suited for weight jumping.

    Which leads to my serious Braxton vs Hagler thread. And btw I specifically chose BRAXTON not qawi. He never fought the same after changing his name. Fact. Maybe he was not hungry.

    From what I know, he slowly became an alcoholic.

    Well, he overcame his addiction, and is now an addiction and guidance councillor to troubled teenagers.

    Here's a great interview at the BHOF if you haven't seen it.

    Thats great! He actually says what I am saying! Funny look behind him and see Rockabye Rubin Olivares walk behind him like hes lost.
