Im pretty sure Don won't fancy a straightener mate ;).

Hagler is cut! Hagler is cut! 3 greatest rounds of boxing ever seen.

Hagler was my favourite Boxer of them all.
Remember as a 12 yr old boy watching him destroy Alan Minta and thinking this guy is awesome.

Spike's newtons were a delight.

That was a golden era in boxing......

Thank you, Jim!

Hagler-Hearns 1st min > Fury-Wilder trilogy. I even found myself applauding the first and second rounds! Again!

Not even an argument to be had.

I think I mentioned Hagler's loss to Hearns earlier, I meant it as to Ray Leonard, so apologies, my mistake on that.

David Haye was one bitter dosser on the commentry last nite

He was never a humble cruiserweight for starters, the guy has 400 amateur fights, Olympic, European and world gold medals... those who are a little more than armchair fans could of predicted it blindfolded... what separates people like him from the AJs of this world is bonafide experience, which brings wisdom, all AJ had to do was balloon up at the 18 stone mark yet dictated the strategy because of his ego, metal mickey had more movement...

And you’ll never live down the fury prediction but we’ll leave it there!

Hopefully they fight and we will see because usyk and his management team don’t shy away from anyone so if Tyson wants the fight if will happen .

 

[mexico1970]

what did he do after the fight ?

Fury went over and Wilder gave him the bums rush, obviously he had a face like a blancmange when Tyson went over but there has been a bit of a fuss made that he didn't kiss and make up after a tough fight.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Didn’t we say the same about Joshua against usyk

I've never rated AJ and that is not revisionism, I just think he's been hugely overrated for ages.

I remember Hagler ripping Alan Minter to shreds at Wembley Arena, and bottles and cans being thrown into the ring by the the pro-Minter crowd. Disgraceful scenes...




Hagler was an awesome boxer.
