I saw that fight live, Hugo Corro vs Vito Antuofermo on June 30 1979 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Howard Cosell said that if Corro had thrown a few more punches he would have won, retaining his title. All Corro did was get mauled by Vito, he turned his back, always against the ropes there was no lateral movement as in both fights against Rodrigo Valdes.

and as sudden as his rise to the top, his trip to the bottom was even more swift because Hugo was never heard from again

It's not easy holding the title is it?

Thanks JT1, as I always say, Batman, lurking, waiting for the city to need a hero

I have thought about it a bit more. Outside of his chin being so good and his handspeed and brilliant combinations, I do think Hagler could Barrera-Hamed Toney.

I think Roy and Nard have the greatest chances against Hagler from the brilliant trio. I just think Hop is that much superior to Toney in strategy and ring IQ. He can fight in more ways and then, as we have discussed many times, Roy just has the shock and awe of his speed, power and angles combination that Hagler couldn't just walk through and he would need to find a solution. Over 15 rounds tho, I'm somewhat anxious about Roy going to the ropes, closing his eyes and turning away from punches. I don't think that tactic/nuance bodes well against a snarling Hagler.
