    Coincidence isn't it that those 3 Benitez fights you mentioned were all at the end of his career. You gonna tell us how old/young he was next?

    This is too easy.

    I have Greb ranked higher and Langford. Gans is 11, Arguello is 19, Fitzsimmons is 14 and Hagler is 15. Where did you get Camacho from on this list. I would not rank him anywhere near those names. He beat a old ancient Leonard and now he is up there with Sam Langford and Joe Gans?

    Try harder. Stop looking for the easy route.

    '87 Hagler is NOT inferior to:

    Sharkey's last fight

    Outboxed and KO'ed or the ear biter. Pick your version.

    Outboxed and KO'ed or KO'ed in 3 by Monzon. Pick your verison.

    Last fight between them the ref had to stop Williams from killing Jack

    This is not even worth talking about. Do you think if we switched Barkley with the 87 Hagler and put him in with 38 year old Duran that the outcome would been the same? Duran could not beat Hagler when they were both younger, he is not going to beat him when he is almost 40.

    Those are a lock no matter what you say.

    These are debatable:

    Probably Frazier beating Ali. I can change that.

    I could be convinced that a prime Fulmer beats 87 Hagler. You probably could not convince me.

    Close possible.

    Lets keep it simple so that even morons like you can understand.

    Any fool that looks to compare Ray Robinsons attempt to win Joey Maxim's Light Heavyweights title, with Leonards fiasco against Lalonde, forfeits the right to be treated with anything other than abuse and contempt.

    The very fact that you mentioned that nonsense tells everyone all they need to know about your boxing knowledge.

    Tell me, do things like you actually have parents?

    Perhaps that might explain your obsession with them.

    I consider you, as something I might tread on in the street, when people don't clean up after their animals.

    You could write all you know about boxing on a stamp, not surprising seeing as though you're a window licker. :nut

    Then don't read them. I'd hate to be responsible for you actually learning anything. Moronic Yank.

    You're just another idiot who believes the 4 words, George Foreman and best ever, belong in the same sentence.

    I suggest that you don't even think about the meaning of intelligence, much less write, or talk about it.

    It's an easily made mistake. You have both got names that start with Wa, waster, waffler, wanker, makes little difference, and you both talk crap about fighters like Frazier beating modern day fighters with ease. Leonard being far better than he actually was. Same ****, just different topics with the pair of you.

    So whether or not you've metioned Foreman and best ever yet is not really important. You're the type to claim that sort of garbage.
