    It's good to see Joe's little brother get his due after all these years

    You have to be kidding..... he thought Hagler deserved the decision against Leaonard.....only someone who does not know boxing would come to that conclusion

    Moorer? Why not include Chris Byrd for good measure too? Two time HW champ, south paw and several successful title defenses, including victories over Vitali Klitschko and Evander Holyfield.

    Oh wait, but the same Byrd got two horrible beatings (including a total of 6 knockdowns) against Wlad so rather put Moorer in and ignore Byrd :deal

    I agree 100%

    Burt Sugar is another example of a nostalgic boxing commentator with his head in the sand.

    We are so fortunate at ESB to have so many posters who know more about the sport than Hugh McIlvanney :patsch

    We are fortunate to have some guys on here who are not senile old coots who walk around with a full load in their adult diapers. :lol:

    i don't think anyone here questions Mcilvaney knowledge of the sport but he is full of **** and losses credibility if he says that Wlad would be ordinary in other eras.
