    If you watch Marquez vs Pac rematch, both come out looking to counterpunch. It turned out to be a war though.

    Floyd vs Judah started off as a counterpuncher fight but Floyd turned it into a war. Judah couldn't keep up though.

    Counterpuncher is not the only way of being skilled. That's a limitation in itself. Marquez vs Mayweather is the perfect example of two fighters of this type facing up.

    It's just what people consider "skill" at the moment. They see things through a PBF filter.

    I'm reading the pages one by one.:good

    My answer would be Hearns/Hagler. Two highly skilled boxers who could box circles around most but went at it like two cannibals that had fasted for weeks. Both guys just threw it all out the window and went to war.

    Hagler and Duran were very skilled fighters its crazy to say they were "just sluggers", they were highly skilled offencive fighters.

    Exactamundo. :thumbsup

    People underrate the boxing skill in the V/M trilogy, throwing around comments such as that both of them totally eschewed any defense just because they both got hit a lot (hmm, couldn't have anything to do with both being offensively fierce & unstoppable?! :nut).

    Also, just because Tommy Hearns was otherwise a very skilled boxer, and Marvin Hagler was otherwise a very skilled boxer, doesn't mean their actual storied encounter was anything other than a brutal, ugly mosh.

    While the first page revolved around the debate of "skill", I found it funny people defended Duran but not Hagler. Hagler was pretty ****ing skilled in his own right.
