    :lol::rofl:patsch

    Hearns v Jones at 160 ends in a knockout that could go either way. Jones was faster and heavier, but Hearns was rangier and a superior boxer

    Hagler is Jones' nightmare, and I think he wears him down and knocks Jones out late on

    A 2002 Hopkins from the Trinidad makes for a very close fight

    Gerald McClellan under Manny Steward would be a nightmare to face

    Monzon

    That's off the top of my head

    Jones was great, but he seems to have the Tyson effect with his fanboys where in their minds he's unbeatable

    Hearns still had power at 160. Dropped Roldan numerous times, briefly stunned Hagler, knocked Shuler unconscious with one right hand.

    Problem was, Hearns got chinnier at 160.

    168. More experienced by then, he was still a tad green at 160.

    And you seem to have the moron effect, where you think a middleweight who can't beat a retired welterweight would have a chance against Roy ****ing Superman Jones Jr.

    Look at the punishment Leonard had to absorb to survive

    If someone as basic as Glen Johnson knocks Jones out, prime Hagler kills him

    says the moron who thinks the guy Glen Johnson knocked out has some kind of resemblance to a young RJJ.

    Yet Hagler was anywhere near his best when he lost to Leonard!? :patsch

    And yes Jones was still close to his best when he lost to Johnson. He was still at the top of the P4P rankings and you could see how good he was when Johnson eased off, he was beaten by the better man on the night

    Iron-chinned Marvin Hagler walks Roy down and knocks him unconscious in the late rounds.

    yeah I think Hagler is odds on to catch up with him late on. Wouldnt count roy out though. I'd call it 60:40.

    Leonard would have got the same if Marvin hadnt been a notch down from Marvellous when he fought him. Hagler was outstanding when prime.

    At 168, an Amateur Cassius Clay beats him.... I believe you said this. I think I was insulted for disagreeing.. which is probably why i remember.
