    No. More one-sided at 160.

    No, Basilio gave Robi hell at middle, Leonard was nowhere near Robinson`s level at middle, Hagler wasn`t as good as Basilio wa at middle after he fought Mugabi, he was really slowing down.

    So you'd pick Basilio to beat the Hagler Leonard fought?

    Yes, his hand speed was quicker, but it would be a war, Basilio would land far more shots than Ray did and he would throw far more also.

    Ok so he goes to war with Hagler weighing 153 and wins. He was stopped twice by Gene Fullmer not long after the SRR fights. Fullmer put a beating on him. SRR at this point was often win one lose one or thereabouts. Basilio himself was on the slide.

    Hagler had slowed but i'm not convinced he loses a war to a junior middleweight at this stage, one who could be stopped at that weight and time.

    I feel Baslio would have slipped more of Mugabi`s punches than Hagler did.

    We are talking Hagler - Basilio tho not Mugabi. Basilio slipping more of Mugabi's punches has nothing to do with his chances of beating Hagler.

    The logic you use to work this stuff out is too skewed for me to want to argue with you.

    SRL wins at 47-54 but at 160 he gases and Basilio outpoints him


    With faded tired Hagler it was strength that tired SRL but Hagler didn't fight with any urgency.....urgency on the other hand fights a much more intense pace at 160....is this. fight over 15 or 12?
