    Sibson and Obel were good. Mugabi was no bum.

    Had he not retired and they met , I see Mike shutting Hagler out.

    Too strong , elusive and smart in the wheel house. Hagler came in with next to zero head movement at that stage and his body was a wide open target.

    He'd take to much of a working over and wouldn't be able to perform with his usual intensity winning formula- losing a wide decision imo.

    A bronze star for Dino. For posting and not mentioning Klitschko. Well done pal.

    Hagler by decision. Toobig, too strong, and there was a pronounced difference in the power and strength (in a negative way) in McCallum once he moved up to 160. He wasn't quite as overpowering at middleweight. Hagler would push him around in the late rounds.

    lol stop it Watson has a better chin than anyone Hagler ever knocked out. Collins is way bigger and stronger than Hagler and anyone Hagler ever fought and MM was able to deal with him and even out muscle him in spots

    Agree that Mike didn't have much of a punch at MW, but he certainly was strong enough. No one pushed him around. Not Watson or Collins, who were stronger than Hagler, and not even Harding at LHW. Harding was certainly stronger than Mike, but Mike was smart and skilled enough not to let him set himself.

    Yeah I'd sorta forgotten about Foxy01. What a choad. I gotta say Dino is much better too. You have no idea how he was when both Klitschkos were ruling.
